Petition Crossing the floor

More details

End the pernicious practice of MP's changing parties, taking advantage of those who voted for them, who clearly expected the MP to represent the party for whom they voted.
Action: if any MP wishes to cross the floor of the house they must give notice, which should trigger an automatic bye-election.
