We the people demand by-elections of any MP resigning from a party.
Any MP resigning from their party is resigning as an elected MP and they no longer represent their constituents who elected them on party manifestos. As such, they must be required to stand in a by-election for their constituents to decide if they want them to continue to represent them.
