Sarah Wollaston MP - 9th Jun 2016 4:00am
Sarah has changed her mind and will be voting "remain"
One would hope that an MP would realise the referendum vote is about the principal of whether to stay in the EU or not, changing sides because the campaigners said something wrong is not a reason to change your vote - you are not voting for campaigners you are voting for the principal.
She would be somewhat naive if she believes the other side hasn't made preposterous claims as well.
So three choices as to why she changed camp:- Did she bottle going against Cameron (but hopefully he would realise the futility of her reason)?, was she given no choice? or is this a tactical manoeuvre by the Tory party to have a stream of people changing their mind to vote stay, hoping that it spreads the idea to the public.
If we see a stream of Tory MP's defecting from "out" I hope their petty manipulation is exposed.
