Make it law that an MP cannot change parties without triggering a by-election

Petition Details

The electorate, almost entirely, vote for their parliamentary representative based on the political party/manifesto that closely matches their views. An MP switching allegiance after election is unfair on those voting and therefore should need to be put back to the electorate.
