Liberal Democrat Candidate Turns Tory

From the Daily Telegraph:

Liberal Democrat candidate defects to Tories

A Liberal Democrat election candidate Norsheen Bhatti [Nora Batty? - HN] has defected to the Conservatives, blaming Nick Clegg for abandoning his party's commitment to widen representation of ethnic minorities.

Ms Bhatti, the prospective candidate in Chelsea and Fulham, said she had decided to join David Cameron because he was doing more to get black and Asian people elected to Parliament.

She has until very recently been critical of the Conservative Party, and if this Tory promise to put more BMEs in the Houses of Parliament is sufficient to make her switch alliegences, exactly how strong are her principles? From my point of view, not very. From my point of view, she switched parties because she's non-white and the Tories have pledged to help non-whites get seats in Parliament. It's a fairly shallow, unprincipled, self serving grab for power.

Haven't we already got enough politicians like that?

In the article she's quoted as saying that the Liberal Party 'is so very out of touch with everyday life and people in our country.' If anyone is out of touch with people in our country, it's Cameron. I think the people in our country are sick of having 'affirmative action' and 'equal opportunities' shoved down our throat. Affirmative action guarantees no improvements in performance whatsoever. Look at the women in Brown's cabinet. What a useless, brainless bunch of .. incompetents!

Cameron is still trying to out-Blair the Labour party, I've got news for you Cameron, the country has moved on .. for gods sake even the Labour Party has moved on.
