Why? Let's take a view from other end....
He says the Tory Party has left him. He's far from alone. The only mystery is why other 'one nation' Tories are not leaving in number saying same thing.
Frank Field left Labour on similar grounds. There's a mystery about why others have not followed. Field has always been a loner/outlier and the Jess Phillips and Stella Creasey type MPs of this world still hope Labour is recoverable.
It seems quite reasonable for Lee to conclude can do better for his constituents, all of them not just the Tories, released from the bounds of the Tory Whip. Bracknell was leave but not on the Boston scale; maybe 45/55. Not seen a psephologist's analysis but suggestion is a few wards swung it.
Frankly any Tory who expresses doubt about Brexit is vulnerable to local party activists who may have been augmented by entryism from UKIP. If Lee or any other Tory is not committed to Brexit at any cost then no confidence votes are a real possibility.
If he was a bottom feeder out to keep his own nest feathered he could have played along with the 'let's get it done at any cost' brigade and retained endorsement of local CCP.
I don't think (a) he'll capture Bracknell for LDs or (b) get the sinecure of a safe LD seat.
