Not only does Labour have a new leader and deputy leader, but it also has a new MP. Tory MP Quentin Davies has confirmed that he will be joining the Labour ranks immediately. In a letter to leader David Cameron he wrote;
"Under your leadership the Conservative Party appears to me to have ceased collectively to believe in anything, or to stand for anything. It has no bedrock. It exists on shifting sands. A sense of mission has been replaced by a PR agenda….Although you (Cameron) have many positive qualities you have three, superficiality, unreliability and an apparent lack of any clear convictions, which in my view ought to exclude you from the position of national leadership to which you aspire and which it is the presumed purpose of the Conservative Party to achieve”.
All these problems, and he wants to join Labour!
These are very harsh and critical words and extremely embarrassing and damaging for Cameron as Mr Davies is not an unknown in Parliamentary circles.
He does not say whether he will call a bye-election; history shows that defectors never really take the honourable route; his constituency voted for a Conservative candidate, not a Labour one.
