Lib Dems gain another MP

[Agrivator]

Tories couldn’t form a majority government on that manifesto, which suggests that the country really didn’t want them to stick with it. They’re only in power as part of a coalition, really. Not really fair to criticise them for not fulfilling what the country didn’t actually want.

No. Ridiculous promises mad by Jeremy Corbyn was what swung the vote towards Labour.

They be fullfilling brexit leave what the Country wanted though.

Theresa would agree with that. Starting with the ERG crew..

The ERG crew are the only MPs who fully respect the 2017 Referendum result. The cancer that needs cutting out is the crew who are intent on reversing the result.

Sarah Wollaston who was elected as a Conservative MP, spent a while as an MP in the group formally known as Change UK has now decided that the only hope she has of staying an MP at the next general election is as a Lib Dem.

Sarah Wollaston: Ex-Tory MP joins Lib Dems

Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson says the pro-Remain MP will bring "real expertise" to the party.

If she or any of the other MPs who have jumped ship had any respect for democracy or their constituents they'd call by elections

I don't think you'll have long to wait.

Did Winston Churchill resign his seat every time he changed party?

I think he should be deselected

 

[czechmate]

They do though.
And yes some go for party some for person.
But any change should be re election?
To be POLITICALLY correct i guess!

Won't have long to wait for what? Sarah Wollaston has said there won't be a by election and Boris won't call a general election any time soon.

I assume Le Bon was implying that actually he won’t have that choice

Why wouldn't Boris have the choice? Corbyn et al don't have the numbers to force a general election.

I think we will see soon enough

I think we will see soon enough

Knowing Corbyn we probably will, he'll waste yet more parliamentary time on a vote that he won't win.

But he can't now get rid of Hammond as his constituency has just reselected him.

 

[Martin Holden]

How can an MP voted in by the public that choose a certain political party then swap and change as they like???
Should never be allowed?
What's the legal positions?

Agreed. Moving across should always be followed by a by election without any question.

It has been suggested that Boris could still get rid of Hammond, I've no idea either way. Reselection was apparently done in a closed meeting, really democratic if true.

He was only following in good footsteps, Winston Churchill crossed the floor to the Liberals!
