Is the Tory MP (born in Poland BTW) in a naive and illegitimate manner not protecting both of his countries interests? I agree about whataboutism, because in a microcosm, it highlights the complete lack of consistency from people like yourself - not a deflection, but an interest in where your anger stops. I will say again, the Tory MP was wrong, but I also think Leo Varadkar asking Sinn Fein to vote on Brexit matters is too. Do you? Or Macron forcing no deal on the UK over fishing rights?Again they are not doing the same thing as the MP as has been amply explained.
Those politicians are trying to protect their own country's interest as external players whilst the MP was trying to SUBVERT Parliament as a MEMBER of Parliament from the inside.
To simplify it further he was being a traitor to Parliament, those external Politicians aren't part of our parliament.
That is why your continued raising of foreign politicians is a "whataboutism" otherwise a deflection. It is your response to the original point that is the "whataboutism".
Calling him a traitor is a bit much though.
