Rejected petition Have a local election after Christian Wakeford Bury South MP switched parties

Christian Wakeford Bury South MP left the Conservative party for Labour.
The local area voted for Conservative not Labour, its makes a mockery of the voting system.
The people spoke, if you leave a party it must go back to the public vote.

More details

Give the vote back to the people, its pointless voting when MP's just switch mid term.
