Make it Law that MP's that change parties must call an imediate by-election.
If a Member of Parliment changes from one party to another, Their constituency should have the opportunity to accept or decline the MP's new party as he or she does not now represent the party the constituency originally voted for.
Recent events have seen many MP's change party affiliation without their constituency having a choice. Nick Boles, Anna Soubry, Sarah Wollaston, Heidi Allen, to name a few. It is not right that a constituency has to accept a political party they did not vote for.
