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

All hail the Moyesiah

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 |

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. |
