Any elected MP who switches party MUST face a bi-election!
When an elected official is elected to a seat they are put there by the voters voting for the party of their choice, when that elected official then switches to another political party they are in effect switching voters from a party they voted for to a party they did not.
This is unacceptable
Make it mandatory that any elected official MUST surrender their seat until they are elected to it for the party they switch to.
