In an unique interview with DAILY POST, Main condemned the defections as “political betrayal”, questioning the motives of sitting governors who swap events with out the consent of their followers.
He stated: “I truthfully don’t perceive what a sitting governor hopes to achieve by defecting to one other celebration when his followers will not be even in settlement with him. This is what I name ‘meals is ready’ politicians. It’s a tragedy for our democracy.
“Each well-meaning democrat needs to be alarmed by this. The power of any democracy lies in its multiparty nature. If one celebration controls each the legislature and the chief, actual democracy turns into inconceivable. With out sturdy opposition, these in energy have nobody to maintain them accountable and that’s the hazard threatening our democracy at present.
“If a politician actually believes in his celebration’s ideology, he gained’t simply get up one morning and cross over to one other celebration. It reveals that there is no deep conviction. That’s the actual hazard; our politics has develop into ideology-free, pushed solely by private ambition and survival.”
