Chuka Umunna says he will remain in the Liberal Democrats for the rest of his life despite defecting from both the Labour party and Change UK this year.
Chuka Umunna says he'll be a Liberal Democrat for the rest of his life.
Umunna said he had expected more"suspicion, hesitation, and questioning of motives" from Lib Dem members. The former Shadow Business Secretary — who has been in three different parties this calendar year — told Business Insider that he had received a"lovely warm welcome" from Lib Dem members after Umunna quit the Labour Party in February to launch a new, anti-Brexit party in the centre of British politics.
"This it now — I'm not going to any other party — this is the party I'll be a member of until the day I die." "Both on the street and also just among friends who aren't involved in politics at all, I kept on being asked 'why don't you just join the Lib Dems? Everything I hear from them I hear from you.'"I couldn't deny that fact — it was staring me starkly in the face."Umunna said one of the reasons, was that they believed the new party should not immediately stand candidates in elections, as it"needed to learn to walk before it could run.
