You took it that I would be ****ed off if my NDP MP switched to an independant and voted with the Conservatives on ANY issue I would be angry and that is not the case at all.
(B) Even if I did mean EVERY issue, I'm sure you have chastized the CPC voters who dismiss every idea the NDP bring forward. Or am I special?

I'm still confused how denying the people of his riding who wanted a Liberal MP is honourable? The honourable thing would have been to say "I ran for, was supported by, and voted in as a Liberal. I no longer feel that I can represent the party I was voted in with and therefore am resigning my seat." That would have been honourable. Denying his constituency the representation that they democratically voted for is *NOT* honourable. But as this thread shows, some CPC supporters are not interested in democracy, accountability and ethics; only spin. People who defect to the CPC are honourable men (and then find all the documentation they can find to spin it that way). People who defect from the CPC are horrible people (and then find all the documentation they can find to spin it that way). As far as I am concerned, ANYONE that defects from one party to another without a byelection no matter what the circumstances should not be held up as an honourable person.
