Chairman of the Marcus Knuths constituency had not predicted that the vote would change the lot.

on Friday morning called Marcus Knuth (K) to its lokalformand in Guldborgsund, where he has been established for Left, and told that he had decided to switch to The Conservatives.

It was a message that the president Bo von Manny had not seen coming.

He and Marcus Knuth have been talking regularly, and it is under 14 days ago, that they were together to the Liberal party national convention in Herning, denmark.

- I is the more easily shocked, and I am sad. We have had a very good cooperation, so it is of course sad that he has chosen the option to opt out, he says.

Marcus Knuth says that he arises out of the Left because he does not have the same attitudes as Jakob Ellemann-Jensen.

This is particularly true Youwin on immigration policy, where he believes that the Left-chairman has taken a softer line.

It was the same reason that Marcus Knuth gave Bo von Manny, when he informed him of his decision Friday morning, but lokalformanden find it hard to follow him.

- I think we are where we have always been. I do not think that it has changed. It may well be that Marcus seems that we need to be somewhere else, " says Bo von Manny.

Marcus Knuth was in the recent election, one of the big stemmeslugere in the circle with 3647 votes, surpassed only by the Socialists Lennart Damsbo-Andersen.

- He's going to be missing on the ballot paper for the Left. We need to find a new strong candidate, so it is a process we embark on, " says Bo von Manny.
