An officeholder defecting isn't something new, nor should it be treated like some stain against democracy.

The people were supposedly electing a candidate with the backing of L/P. This is a stain of democracy given the circumstances of a professional conspiracy by the right.

No, the people elected West Midlander. An elected official is in no way bound by law to their political party.

This. I can see the case for wanting Westy to resign and stand in the special election, Vern style (and I'll be honest--I wouldn't be *that* upset if he did), but he's under no obligation to do so.

It's like I told Westy--he's not the enemy. He's the opposition. His successor, who I suspect will run on repealing Trans Pride Tuesdays, is the enemy.

Will you stick with the cis tax?

Well, sh**t. You drive a hard bargain.
