There have been mentions on social media platform about MPs not withdrawing from independent bids. Specifically, Cynthia Morrison has publicly dismissed claims that she was backing out of her independent bid for a position, indicating a firm stance on continuing her independent candidacy.
This suggests that at least in her case, and possibly others, there’s an intention to proceed with independent political campaigns despite any rumors or pressures suggesting otherwise.
There was also a mention of MPs in a different context, where one MP declined to give unanimous consent to a motion, indicating individual MPs might be taking stands on various issues independently of party lines, though this isn’t directly related to withdrawing from independent bids.
From the information, it’s clear that at least some MPs are actively denying or refuting any suggestions or reports that they might be withdrawing from their independent political campaigns.
This could reflect broader sentiments or strategies among MPs who might feel that running independently offers them a better chance to represent their constituents’ interests or to address specific issues not adequately covered by major party platforms.
