Would that mean that his letter wouldn’t count now then.
Also, would it be a bi-election in his constituency.

Blimey I bet that hasn't happened for a long long time

Anyone who can flip party so easily after only two years in Parliament presumably didn't have the strongest conservative principles in the first place

Probably realises this gives him more chance of winning his seat again next election and I suspect its quite a bit easier being an opposition MP

He has signed Bill
that says if you defect

You must have a Bi Election


So this "now" Labour MP Christian Wakeford
has no choice.


A Conservative MP
was Live in the Hall

And no tie

[Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner dismissed
the need for a by-election in Bury South,
after MP Christian Wakeford defected
to the Labour Party.
Rayner proposed a general election instead.]
She said on Peston ITV1HD


No,
a By Election is on the way.

Indeed, areas vote on party lines not for an individual candidate. If they're going to vote Tory they'll vote Tory.

However, he may be flipping because he thinks his area is leaning Labour. In which case, they will indeed vote for him. Because again the name and face don't really matter, people are voting for the party being represented.

It had been Labour for years before the last election. It was a shock when Tories got in....think because one of areas it covers is predominantly Jewish and the anti semitism allegations didn't go well and a lot if the areas are low earners and wanted Brexit.
