This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition All MP's that change Political Parties must stand in a By-Election.
Rejected on
A large number of MP's have changed Political Parties. It is wrong that the people that voted for a particular Political Party should be disenfranchised. People do not vote for the person but the Political Party that that person represents.
The current situation in Parliament where a very important decision on our future is being made. MP's should represent their constituents views.
