    I don’t understand how you become an MP of a party and then so quickly dissolve yourself of all the party stands for to then go play for the opposing team.

    I imagine they agreed with some of what their party stood for but not everything. If the SNP treated her like shit she has less incentive to stick around.

    But also, I don’t understand why she didn’t go independent or green who are closer ideologically than the Conservatives. 🤷

      Jesse J wrote a song about this. It’s all about that sweet moolah; it can’t be easy being an independent MP, especially given there’s an election looming in the next year. That said, I don’t think I can square-away this sort of flip-flopping.
