Rejected petition Stop MPs from changing parties without an election
More details
MPs should not be allowed to change parties without being subject to re-election .
Many people vote for a party rather than the person representing the party, How unfair is it than a person can be elected as ? MP only to then become an MP for a different party often after being expelled by their own party.
Lets stop this unfair practice....
