Lee Anderson joins Reform UK

[johnphilip]

I wish him  well , and hope he does some good for his Constitutions  

 

[Rewulf]

Another nail in the tories coffin, self administered.
No doubt the MSM will go on the attack with Lee, and make him out to be secret member of the nazi party or something.

Get ready for dark times if labour get in power.

Brilliant news, reform could become the new Conservative party for real Conservatives if reform get enough support at the ballot box.

I see it as a real opportunity to turn the tide on our countries decline.

I'm thinking along the same lines - except that now voters have felt so mugged off by the two **** big parties they will rebel and try another party at least parading as having british interests at heart out of desperation.

Hamas shielders will also be diluting main party votes courtesy of the scottish troll with a lot of mouth.

With two decently supported alternatives there may now just be a chance to break the ConLab fixed menu.

As it's almost certain Labour will win the next election, I see a vote for the Conservatives as a wasted vote, may as well give it to Reform.

I doubt Reform will get  to be the next major party, but it might just shake the Tories up enough they go back to being a proper conservative party.

Interesting times ahead.

He's now been both cheeks of the same backside, to mis-quote Galloway, and that'll make the third party he's represented.

If only Reform had any actual policies.  As far as I can tell, they have no plans to reform anything.  Their leader is far too enthusiastic about continuing the proxy war in Ukraine too.

I don't know, I took a listen to Richard twice on radio 4 a couple of weeks ago and he sounded switched on and had some very common sense ideas. Either way it's got to be worth a shot, the Conservatives are finished and not conservative anymore anyway.

I agree. A carpetbagger. 

[Lloyd90]

A man of real principles, starting in Labour, moving to the Cons and now over to Reform. 
 

A man who said if you change party during your time in the seat you should immediately call a by-election to ensure you have the support of your constituents, and is now refusing to call a by-election. 
 

He’s hardly a breath of fresh air is he? Seems just as bad (I feel worse) than the current lot!

After the Rochdale result there could be a lot more independent candidates representing Moslem views.

With Labour's stance on Gaza they could hemorrhage Moslem voters.

Sine the main parties are continuing their move to the left, I would suggest it is not Lee leaving Labour and then Conservatives, but rather the parties leaving Lee......

 

With regards resigning and calling another "costly" by election (which may not happen before the proposed May election date), if he is still representing his constituents who a lot of are now supporting Reform, is he still not following their mandate as we vote for the person, not the party?

He is perfectly entitled to change his mind (or jump ship onto the next one) - as he clearly has done twice now.  He will likely move again if he things it will benefit him.  I vote for a person whose views agree with my own and he/she is prepared to represent those views in Parliament. 

I wouldn't vote for someone who just changes with the way the wind is blowing today.

[Wylye]

A by election in Ashfield would soon show how much support he has. Perhaps it’s only a matter of time before he goes across to the Liberals - he’s been everywhere else 

[TIGHTCHOKE]

I presume this means that Reform now have their first MP.

Until he has to attempt to stand at the next General Election.

[Zoli 12 guage]

to all the Lee Anderson knockers.

he started off as a labour (local) COUNCILLOR (not an MP) before joining what he thought was a right wing conservative party only to be disappointed and then joining Reform (an actual right wing party)

Yes. They didn't think much of Churchill when he stood in Leicester! He didn't win. December 1923 for the National Liberals. West Leicester. Beaten by the Labour candidate. And where did each go to school? Churchill went to Harrow and the winner, Labour's Pethick-Lawrence was at Eton. Both true "men of the people"!
