Ban parties from punishing MPs who vote with their constituents

Background

Make it illegal for political parties to punish MPs for voting in line with their constituents

Additional details

The whipping system is undemocratic. MPs are elected by constituents, not parties. We ask the Government to legislate that: -It becomes illegal for any party to remove the whip, deselect, or punish an MP who votes in line with the clearly expressed views of a majority of their constituents (e.g. local poll or petition signed by 10% of voters). -Every MP must publicly record before each vote how their decision relates to their constituents’ interests. It’s time to put voters before party bosses.
