The Squatter MPs

To every MP that switched parties midterm and was too chicken to call a bye-election:

You are in the privileged and exalted position of being a Member of Parliament because of many little people, most of them very young with very limited means, who relentlessly distributed your leaflets and knocked on mostly hostile doors, come rain or shine, in sweltering heat or biting cold, fighting your case, only because they believed in you and the manifesto you stood on, often spending their own money and sacrificing their time to get to your constituency.

You've just spat in every one of their faces.

You are a Member of Parliament under false pretenses. You, are a fraud.

Go on, explain to me why and how you are not.
