A Member of Parliament who resigns from their party must trigger a by-election

Petition Details

An MP having been elected on a party manifesto cannot expect to still represent constituents if they have resigned from the party they were a member of when elected. If their view has moved so far from their party then the public has a right to reconsider their mandate as an MP
