Quote bren2k="bren2k"There is interesting bonfire of the centrists going on at the moment - in both parties; the Tories and Labour are moving to more extreme positions, one to the right and one to the left, and it seems a lot of MP's who would label themselves as moderate, are jumping ship as a result. The Tories had their big clear-out, and others have dribbled away since, and it seems likely that more Labour MP's could follow, as they saw Tom Watson as the last bulwark against Corbynism.
My fear is that many of them could wait until after the election to do so - to keep their place on the gravy train; not caring of course that they effectively steal the time and effort of activists and campaigners, and the democratic vote vote of their constituents. But since the precedent set for that by the Funny Tinge crew, it seems that some career MP's have no shame in that respect. For my money, crossing the floor should trigger an automatic by-election.
I don't count John Mann or Ian Austin by the way - a pair of more odious twerps you are never likely to find; they will be a stain on any party they care to join.'"
Like they did by voting down the referendum result, you mean?
