The former Labour MP has announced he is quitting Parliament, sparking a by-election in his Hamilton West seat, in which he'll be standing. Sharma told Mike Hosking he'll be announcing the formation of a new centrist party and its name and policies in due course. He's talking to people who want a party that isn't too right or too left.
