If MPs quit political party’s then an automatic by-election should be triggered

Petition Details

It is undemocratic that an Mp can quit the political party they represented at the last general election without having to call a by-election

A by-election should be immediately called so voters have the choice to choose the incumbent mp Or pick a new one representing the party they quit

Additional Information

Recently several Labour MPs have quit the Labour Party to become Independent Members of parliament without having to call a by-election to ask voters what they think

That is undemocratic

Whether i vote for a Labour candidate Conservative or Liberal Democrat i expect that if they are elected they should stay loyal . If they are unable to remain within that political party than an automatic by-election should be held ASAP so voters get to choose between the incumbent or a new MP
