Defecting MPs are embarrassing for the party the leave and probably highlight major flaws in policy. The party they are defecting from is likely to want the event to have as lower profile as possible. They’ll play lip service to saying the MP should resign, but in reality, they’ll just want to move on from a bad news day with as little fuss as possible. If the MP then doesn’t right, they can use it to take the high ground in the next GE. Play the long game. I watched Soubry being interviewed on ITV this evening and she made the same point I did a few posts back. She said that the Tories had left her and not the other way around. She said it was no longer the Conservative and Unionist Party but is now the Conservative and Brexit Party, having swung hard to the right. She is the MP that her electorate voted for. Did the Tories ask them if they wanted the swing to the right?

Peter Sutcliffe could run for Labour in areas of the north and win, likewise Ian Huntley as a Conservative in Horsham. FFS take the blinkers off. I am far from glued to this site believe me. I have loads of other things I do. I type quickly and multi task while on here. Of course I accept the reality of the way things are in most of the "safe" constituencies. It is though more interesting at the moment, where far fewer really are "safe", so my hope is that the strength of individual candidates is going to make a difference.

Rather than the relative strengths of candidates this looks more like a defence of identity politics.

Originally posted by Teddy Eagle Rather than the relative strengths of candidates this looks more like a defence of identity politics. I don't see why. Surely a candidate can show their strength in a variety of ways, not least by showing concern and understanding for all groups rather than those most like themselves. I think the next GE will be interesting to observe how individual candidates reach out beyond the party machines via local TV appearances and social media. Of course they will be obliged to tread the party line, but there are opportunities beyond that. The LibDems are already very active here and must see this constituency as a winnable one. They are as much promoting the individual and her attitudes and interests as party policy. No-one else has yet been seen.

Because some of the biggest boneheads in the HoC are there because of who they are rather than what they represent.

Interesting that despite several people having a dig at Wisbech for his subtle insults that you only pick mine for your "pathetic" comment. Surely it's nothing to do with the many yellow cards that I've given you for your continued insulting ways on this forum?

It's Deja Vue all over again. It seems like Parliament won't vote for Johnson's GE after all. Put a microphone in front of Labour or the SNP and they won't shut up about how bad this government is and we need a change, that is until you say okay lets have a GE then they start waffling. Hearing their excuses as to why they can't vote for a GE is pathetic. So yet again Parliament is against everything and for nothing. Roll on November 5 One more point
