National Liberal Democrat News - East Riding Liberal Democrats

Defecting or coming home?

Jeremy Corbyn's election has brought speculation about people on the right of the Labour party switching to the Liberal Democrats. Some of those comments make sense, but others don't. At its best, there are times when a genuine change of conviction makes a change of party into a home-coming. I think of the authenticity of Jacob Whiten, writing in Liberal Democrat Voice on his move from UKIP to the Liberal Democrats, and the enormous contribution of people like Shirley Williams, who came into the Liberal Democrats by moving from Labour to the SDP.
