Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted September 11, 2015 Three players may be looking forward to some points next May if Sadiq Kahn wins the election for London Mayor.

If Zac Goldsmith wins the Tory nomination we look like we will get a least one hit on this. If Jeremy Corbyn wins tomorrow we could get a few dozen hits. A sort of SDLP is potentially going to emerge in the next few months, and a new convention of the last parliament is that crossing the floor will require a by-election.

I'd personally expect the folk likely to do such a thing to "do a Shaun Woodward" more than anything. And his actions let David Cameron into parliament.
