Centrism is for those who enjoy the status quo and are happy for the One-Party State system. Opinion today is no longer between the left and the right, not really. It’s between ‘elite’ and non-elite opinion — and ‘elite’ opinion lines up right in the ostensible middle. Centrism is today’s ‘elite’ ideology.
The ‘Independent’ Group are listed on Companies House as having Gavin Shuker (one of the MPs in the group) as a director. Being a private company means the group aren’t held to account by the Electoral Commission Watchdog, and don’t need to declare their donors, though bits of information are coming out.

“Is centrism a con?
Yes, of course it is. Visibly, it consists of nothing, but it does have a distinct purpose. Its purpose is to pretend to be the opposition to right-wing exploitative politics in order to distract attention from genuine opposition. Centrists want to prevent an effective challenge to the ideological conservative destruction of society because they do not disagree with such destruction.
Centrists are useful tools for the conservatives: They occupy opposition time in parliament and in the media where they indulge in distraction pseudo-debates to reduce time available for real analysis and for dissection of conservative destruction and, at elections, the centrists steal votes for their false opposition. The doors for conservatism and centrism lead to the same pit.”
