In a surprising turn of events, Lisa Cameron, the Member of Parliament for East Kilbride, Strathaven, and Lesmahagow, has announced her defection from the Scottish National Party (SNP) to join the Conservative Party. Cameron’s decision comes as she was facing a selection contest to remain as the SNP’s candidate for the next general election.

Cameron cited a “toxic” culture within the SNP’s Westminster group as the primary reason for her departure. Both Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross welcomed her to the Conservative Party. However, the SNP has called for Cameron to step down and trigger a by-election in her constituency.
