We’ve had lots of questions come in this week about defection, prompted by the surprise and somewhat contentious defection of the once Conservative MP for Dover and Deal, Natalie Elphicke, to Labour last week.
Hannah Barnes, associate editor, is joined in the studio by Rachel Cunliffe, associate political editor at the New Statesman, and down the line by David Gauke, former Conservative MP for South West Hertfordshire and New Statesman columnist.

    Elphicke is an edge case - she's a short-timer, a relative nobody who will have precisely zero impact on Labour policy. Rees-Mogg would never defect to Labour and if he did, no one would take him because no one would believe him (absent a complete recanting of his beliefs). There are obvious limits, but welcoming Elphicke was probably a smart move. On the margin, a few moderates with conservative leanings may vote for Labour this election because of it. Or at least they may stay home because they feel a bit better about a Tory loss. I'm much less fond of the purity-tests that some Labour folk seem to think should be normal. It's this thinking - better to lose purely, than win by compromise - that brought Labour such giants as Michael Foot. You know, Michael Foot, the man who passed such meaningful legislation and thereby had such an impact on British life. Oh, wait, he went down to abject defeat, and therefore accomplished nothing for Britons. But he got to feel righteously pure while he lost. I'm sure that was a great comfort to all the people who got the thick end of the stick under Thatcher.

    'Keir Starmer must rebuild trust in British politics'? Why him? Are there no other people who want to change politics, and if so, where the hell are they, because to say they are very thin on the ground is a vast understatement. Perhaps Mr Marr should ask this question and better still look much farther afield for his 'saviour'. Trust in British politics has nose dived and for every individual viewed, it just seems to get worse, scandals lies and arrogance within a tight knit club of self interest, obliging a mere glance at the public when elections come round. Trust in British politics has to be earned, not assumed, demanded or taken for granted. Feeble promises that no one believes, tempting new 'brooms' that unsurprisingly offer only the same brushes, and Question Time entertainment that presents as much enlightenment as a bout of diarrhoea.

    Apparently, according to the Observer this morning, around one-third of voters are not happy with Starmer accepting her into the Labour Party. One presumes the other 2/3rds couldn’t give a toss. I doubt, therefore, that it will have a major negative effect on Labour votes.

    • @jackdubz4247
      @jackdubz4247 10 часов назад

      People outside of the Westminster bubble don't give a toss about this. They are far more concerned about heating their homes, feeding their kids, and stopping the banks from repossessing their houses. What someone like Elphicke thinks about anything is way down on their list of priorities. The Tories, the pro-Tory MSM, and Momentum, may wish that it were higher but it is not.

      I broadly agree, but PR has its problems too. Things can be so tight that a very small - even inconsequential- Parties can end up being the tail wagging the dog. That’s the situation in NZ at the moment. Two small right wing parties hold the balance of power and between them they are trashing environmental legislation, pushing arguably racist policies and unpopular things like mining in the conservation estate. The major Party, like so many on the right around the western world, is craven and will swallow any rat to stay in power. I’m still a fan of PR, but it can be far from ideal.
