Backstabbing of the highest degree

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

In my view, a person who “jumps ship” without the courtesy of giving any warning deserves utter contempt.
That goes for any politician in any party.
It is backstabbing of the highest degree, akin to Brutus and Caesar — “Et tu, Brute?”
So much for serving the public — one’s own career and selfish interests must come first.
How could anyone trust such a person after behaving this way?
