I don't agree. I supported Fatima Payman when she defected from Labor, I am in favour of Jacinta Price defecting from the Nationals to the Liberals, and even though I think she's betraying her beliefs and her supporters and the country for some political power she's unlikely ever to actually receive, I support Dorinda Cox's right to do this if she thinks it's the right move.

Our electoral system doesn't elect parties. It elects people. If you don't like that, you should advocate (as I do, by the way) for a change to a proportional system, such as the MMP used in New Zealand and Germany.
