Why don BDI MPs leave their parties and join UKIP?
BDI MPs belong to parties which have fundamentally incompatible politics. They could therefore not form or join a single party because they agree only on this constitutional issue. The legislation which destroyed the British Constitution was only passed by a cross party majority in 1972 (Heath’s governing party could not pass it on it’s own). It will take a cross party majority to reverse that legislation. That is the power of the BDI – it allows politicians and voters to remain with their ideological allegiance and yet combine in Parliament to reassert the sovereignty of the British people. To our knowledge there are no cases where an MP has left a political party, joined another and retained the seat he held. The BDI unlike every sovereignty Party, except the Ulster Unionist parties, has MPs in Parliament. It would be madness for them to jeopardise their seat in parliament and madness for UKIP to stand against them. 95% of British democrats understand this.
