Rejected petition Enforce deselection of MP who leaves the party they were elected to represent

Whilst calling themselves ‘independents’ there is little doubt that this is a ‘body of MP’s with a common purpose / mandate. Due process for the formation of a political party has not been undertaken and these disaffections should be seen as resignations from public office.
