Nope he's a conniving scheming scumbag. He's jumped ship three times in less than six months.
What happens If he doesn't agree with some Lib Dem policies? Jump ship again.
It is despicable c***s like him that make me weep & you have the brass testicles to say that he's acted 'Impecably' Winners never quit & quitters never win & that guy is a quitter

Won't ever happen. MP's are not delegates of a party. They are the representatives of ALL of their constituents.

If they find they can no longer support any particular party then they are still the same person chosen by the people. It's the person and not the party which is important. We don't want a bunch of sheep being driven by the whips into the voting lobbies. We want thinkers prepared to speak truth to power.

It's for that reason that I object to any party affiliation being put on the voting slips.

For all that, the two go hand in hand. The candidate must broadly represent and endorse party manifestos by definition so it necessarily follows that although you might not like a candidate, you'd vote for them based on party policy.

Once the party policy has been removed by their resignation, the entire dynamic of their election is altered. The only fair means to establish whether the constituents still feel the candidate is their best representative and that they support their decisions is to call a by election.

The fact that Chuka is going through political affiliations quicker than I go through yellow cards reflects the absolute need now to call a by elections. It's a matter of public safeguarding as far as I'm concerned.

I believe you are referring to an independent candidate in which case I agree.

Candidates who align themselves to the party machine and take the party electoral support make that quite clear to the voters e.g. candidates says "I am supporting Jeremy Corbyn he is the leader we need" or "this country needs a Corbyn led government".

Under these circumstances voters are led to believe that not only are they voting for the candidate but the party he supports. He is entitled to change his mind but I think so are the electorate.
