Rejected petition MP’s changing allegiance should resign their seat and stand for re-election.

I feel it is totally wrong that a Member of Parliament has been voted in for the party the constituent supports for its manifesto and then they just change allegiance without the backing of their constituents, this cannot be democratic.

More details

As we can see at the moment MP’s are just changing parties for their own beliefs rather than the people who voted them in.
