Charles continued to stall, to the increasing frustration of all parties, especially members of the New Model, many of whom had not been paid for over a year, and wanted to go home. In March 1647, moderates in Parliament led by Denzil Holles decided to remove the threat by sending the army to Ireland; only those who agreed would receive their arrears. When regimental representatives, or Agitators, demanded full payment for all in advance, Parliament disbanded the New Model, which refused. Although both Cromwell and Fairfax were disturbed by the radicalism shown by parts of the army, they sympathised with them over pay, and took their side against Parliament. These tensions led to the outbreak of the Second English Civil War in 1648.
