Following the criticism David Cameron and Nick Clegg have received for their administration so far since 2010, an MP from East Norfolk has began a massive civil war within the coalition and the Conservative party.

Harvey Beaumont, former Lord was discharged from the Chamber after New Labour's reforms in 1999. He didn't stand for re-appointment as it always went to the richest Lords - not the most well spoken ones. Beaumont had always been critical of the two party system and of the flaws of only ever having two choices. In his time as Lord he had many offers from both Labour and the Tories to join the ranks but Beaumont remained a staunch crossbencher. After his career in the House of Lords ended he retreated to his home town of Lowestoft in East Anglia. There be adopted a social life but also a political one. He bean by becoming a councilman and soon he was head of the local council. From there he decided the only way he could fully express his views was in the House of Commons. He signed up as a conservative candidate and in 2010 he won the Great Yarmouth constituency by a small majority. While he was a Tory MP, he was clearly an outlier in Cameron's ranks. This is one of the reasons why despite his great deal of experience, he was not offered a cabinet position.

Now Beaumont stands for a new policy - something he calls Active Centrism. Not only standing between the left and right but actively promoting a more free and democratic choice. Many Tories have began secretly supporting him after his first 'outrageous speech' in the Commons. However, unsurprisingly most of his support came form the Liberal Democrats. Some Lib Dem MPs felt that the Cameron-Clegg alliance ruined the centrist values the Lib Dems once represented.

This was all guess work until today when Beaumont declared "The Centrist Union". Not quite a party but an alliance of all centrist MPs. Quickly some labour MPs who stood by Blaire began also supporting Beaumont.

Beaumont's success also reaches beyond parliament. His loud, humorous and charismatic speeches attract both young and old. Beaumont makes the people realise how much they really dislike only ever having two options calling it "either picking a kick in the arse or a slap in the face". He claims the only right choice for Britain to move forward is to abandon its old political system and adopt a new one and that that will be his first priority once the Union is finalised.

What will this mean for the fragile Cameron-Clegg coalition? How many MPs will join Beaumont? Will the Tories loose their majority? All is uncertain.
