Well the newspaper story did say the defecator had left the SNP to sit as an Independent. Or was it that the defector had left the SNP to shit as an Independent? Either way, he's shitting on his now former colleagues. that’s the turd time that joke has been made Go back to your conveniences and prepare for excrement.

But why has he defected to the Conservatives, and at this time? It seems so illogical given the circumstances.

yes I've just asked mum and she's said the same. He wanted to be mayor but got passed up. It was even stevens tonight for the vote for leader. Labour and Independents backed the Lib Dems in exchange for power sharing and the committee system

"A massive blow to the Davey/Pack leadership as Clegg leaves the Lib Dems".

Any move to the committee system is a good thing. But they will have to wait another year to get it.

It does seem surprising that he'd defect to the Tories. I was always told he was closer to Labour. This move does seem one to cause his former colleagues as much trouble as possible

Well he's pretty bald about it. "They offered me a job, and I wouldn't get one under Labour."

I do admire people who defect on deep matters of principle.
