Automatic By-Election for MP Defections to Another Political Party
If an MP leaves their elected party, they should be required to hold a by-election. This would allow constituents to exercise their democratic right & ensure transparency in representation, as current political maneuvering undermines voters' choices. It's time to restore peoples faith in politics.
