Rejected petition Make it mandatory for any MP who leaves a party to stand in a By Election

Necessary due to the despicable and morally reprehensible behaviour of certain Members of parliament who stood on a party manifesto to get elected and then chose to leave that party and not stand for re-election in a By Election, leaving the members of the public who voted for them disenfranchised.

More details

In the interim period leading up to the By Election the MP should have no vote in Parliament.
