Not surprising, but still worth calling them out for it, and worth reminding people what sort of people are we putting into parliament and making decisions for us all. This sort of behaviour should never be normalized or accepted as normal.
PR stunt or not, it sure did bring up the ugly sides of the Cons. Not that we didn’t already have enough evidence of that.
Fuck those MPs. Grow the fuck up. You get thrown an uncomfortable dilemma and instead of handling and considering it, you would, instead get mad at the person who raised the dilemma, and engage in essentially classroom bullying?
MP Dawson, you aren’t betraying the Cons if you leave them. They don’t care about you or your morals, and there’s no trust and / or honour between yourselves. Cutting such a relationship does not constitute betrayal; what is there for you to betray?
I read about Wales trying to pass a Truth Law on MPs not too long ago and wonder if we should push for the same. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/welsh-politicians-lying-vote-1.7192025
