How about Marion Le Pen? She previously sat (as you'd expect) for the FN in the Assemblée Nationale. Now she's one of Zemmour's deputies in Reconquête.
Fishing in the same waters, but definitely a different outfit.

Sorry, by deputy, I meant vice-president. An unfortunate lack of clarity on my part. |

I think David Marquand re-joined Labour.Does Paul Marsden of Shrewsbury count? Lab to LibDem back to Lab? Or Brian Sedgemore Lab to LibDem? David Marquand left Labour to join Plaid in 2016. Aside from having been born in Cardiff, he was (like many of the Charter 88 people with whom he associated in the 1980s) always sympathetic to Celtic nationalism. |

No, he’s referring to her niece Marion Indeed. And she's back to being Marion Maréchal these days (quite the surname to have if you're going to join the French far-right). |

returning to Keith Raffan, didn't he subsequently join the Labour Party? There's a bloke on a polling day briefing for London Labour campaigners called Keith Raffan, who looks a lot like the former Conservative MP turned Lib Dem MSP. |

Can I nominate August Haußleiter, who whilst never elected, was a founder member of the CSU - before emerging decades later as a founder member of Die Grünen.

Can I nominate August Haußleiter, who whilst never elected, was a founder member of the CSU - before emerging decades later as a founder member of Die Grünen. A Protestant from Nürnberg - now who do that remind me of. Originally a member of the DVP, before becoming a Papenist and after the war and his problems with the CSU, founded the Deutsche Gemeinschaft which had some fleeting success in Bavaria because of its association with the BHE - the German Refugees and Expelled movement, which led him to be their Fraktionsvorsitzender in the Landtag before they had a falling out and he became an Indo. He came to the fledgling Greens via the Aktionsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Deutscher (AUD) who were politically very odd to modern eyes and ended up once again a member of the Bavarian Landtag for the Greens but stood down fairly quickly due to ill health. |
