The above comment from Ken set me thinking on the function of the traitors. Of course they jump the queue and that can cause a bit of jealousy. But that is offset by the trophy value of the traitor. In 1976 the Australian Labour Trade Unionist and prominent figure accepted a knighthood after the sacking of the Whitlam Labour government in 1975. Egerton was expelled from the Labour Padty but his picture, it seems, hung in the office of a prominent Liberal politician as a trophy. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Egerton> comradely Gary -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
