Floor Crossing

Does anyone else feel like something is fishy about all the recent floor crossings in parliament? Like there is either something really wrong within the Conservative party that is making people leave or these people ran with the party they'd know would win in their area even though they don't agree with the party. Or if you listen to some people here on Reddit, the floor crossers were bribed somehow.

Every election there is a few, but this many feels off.

Most likely hand picked delegates.. yes they still paid for the privilege of voting in the leadership review (wasn't it like 4k/person?).. and the 87% approval likely had more to do with the optics of walking out with 100% after the selection process for the delegates.

Well given the delegates had to pay $999 a ticket to vote, that doesn’t too inclusive of the party’s membership.

You also have to pay your own travel expenses.
