Trigger a by-election should a sitting MP leave the party they represented

Petition Details

Given all MPs are scrutinised equally, if not more so by their party's policies than as an individual, it is important that when a sitting MPs political philosophy deviates so much as for them to leave the party, their constituency is given the option to endorse or reject their new party status.
