So another MP turns his back on the electorate and changes party midstream.
If they want to change fair enough but they should resign and let a by-election take place.
It shows a total disregard for the voters.
This is why I stand by the statement in another thread that they are only out to serve their own interests. |

It happens too often.
The Langston woman and her partner I believe fall into the same category. |

If he was my MP I'd be demanding he quit and hold a new election under his new colours. How dare he flaunt the voters who put him there just so he can change parties as he chooses...... |

When a MP jumps party they should hold a by-election, this just stinks of somebody's lust for power at any cost..... |

So maybe this quote was meant to be in his acceptance letter rather then his resignation one. |

He could have been talking about any party really  |
