- 733 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 973 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

Require AUTOMATIC by election if an MP changes party during a term of office
- 113 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 134 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
A petition to recall an MP is opened in three situations and a by-election forced so long as 10% of the electorate sign such a petition. However, if an MP changes party during a term of office there is nothing the constituents can do. We think there should be an automatic by election.
