No. You vote for a person not a party.

 

[shmmeee]

Anyway, people defecting to your party is a good thing lads.

Nope! They have been continually delayed since 2021. Shambles.

If my MP defected to the tories I'd want a by election and be pissed off if it didn't happen.

Streeting was asking for more tories to join Labour this morning

Yeah, appreciate that, just a general point I think there should by elections in these circumstances but can see why its a wate of time and effort on this occasion.

I'm struggling with this, I must admit.

I'll be voting Labour at the GE, and I understand that Starmer has to project an image of inclusivity and benevolence, and that he is on the side of the angels.

But, fucking hell!

So they should miss the chance to give the tories yet another kicking? Especially when it is an NHS doctor saying he is leaving the tories as they are killing the NHS?

He isn't standing in the GE, short term gain and non long term pain.

Yes. Do you think anyone is going to be swayed to vote Labour because of this? He was a Tory health minister.
