Difference now may be that such a party could possibly attract MP's from both major parties.

But it would need oodles of money, snd success would still be questionable.
I can't see it happening anytime soon it seems to me this is about a leadership person issue and if Labour were to change its Leadership for a Kier type person it may make further ground on the Tories beleaguered position , however if say the Tories found a younger , modern , fresher , voice say Ruth Davidson it too would sweep ahead and probaly recover the centre ground anyway ,whereas Labour if it stayed left , may struggle , even with a new leader, the current Tory problem, is it looks and smells old .

As an offshoot comment , I heard on the radio the other day that the Conservatives are the most successful political party in the history of western democracy .
( not great news for middle ground socialist I guess, as even the successful Blair, is now deemed a Tory among some)
