Looks like members of the ERG are on the verge of walking out of the Tory Party.
1. Where would they go? Would UKIP accept them? Would they form a new party with Farage?
2. If all the ERG left the Tory party, that would mean Labour would have more MPs than the Tories.

Exactly. Forcing a GE whereby these ERG members wouldn't be selected by their local conservative associations and would then be slung out of parliament.
I have to say, this amused me too. Whining about remainders then behaving like remainders
Or waking up to the idea that unless you want some kind of Leninist democratic centralism model, disagreement continues after a vote. Of course, the ERG always knew this. They were just exploiting the gammons' intrinsic distrust of intellectualism and free debate, to try (ineffectually) to silence opposition.
