Hound.Why do you do this?It's very simple.People are SUPPOSED to vote for their MP as a person.Obviously, the overwhelming majority of people don't.Did that really need spelling out?
Hound.If you've read my post and still stand by what you said, I assume you didn't understand my post.My argument was, in simple terms:1) People who said they weren't voting Labour because...Corbyn were fundamentally misunderstanding the dynamics in the Labour party because Corbyn was always going to be severely constrained by a dissenting Parliamentary Labour party. The key thing for the Corbyn-hating voters to decide was "If I vote Labour, will my MP support Corbyn unconditionally or constrain him." Not "I hate Corbyn therefore I'm not voting Labour."2) People who said they were voting Tory because...Johnson, were much more correct, in that Johnson now effectively IS the Tory party, or more accurately, the Tory party is simply a vehicle for implementing what Cummings/Johnson want. The dissenters have been booted out, so now if you vote Tory you ARE voting to enable Johnson/CummingsIf only the world were as black and white as you seem to want it to be.

Two weeks after the Russia Report expressed incredulity that the Johnson Govt had refused to investigate Russian interference in British politics, Johnson finally acts.He gives a peerage to Yevgeny Lebedev. That's a Russian oligarch, media magnate and son of a leading KGB officer now given the keys to the heart of Govt.Anyone give a f**k anymore? Or is anything acceptable as long as you get your Brexit?
