If they were wanting to play tennis yea they would be helpful .....

You mean they get their positions/jobs merely because they are female? As opposed to having any ability.

Not surprising at all as l mentioned it the other day as the three have been planning it for a while.

Gone before they were pushed.

I demand a People's By-Election Vote in their constituencies, we need to have one with the new information that has come to hand on their defection to another political party.

Re: 11 MPs leave their Parties to join The Independent Group
 

There should be By-Elections in all the 11 constituencies where the defections have taken place that is for sure.

Re: 11 MPs leave their Parties to join The Independent Group
 

No, I don't mean that at all.

Re: 11 MPs leave their Parties to join The Independent Group
 

The problem with forcing by-election when this happens is that people will wait until they are pushed instead of them jumping. Would it be right in all cases to force a by-election where MPs are "pushed" out?

Re: 11 MPs leave their Parties to join The Independent Group
 

Is it right for their constituents to no longer be representing the party manefesto that they were elected upon?

Re: 11 MPs leave their Parties to join The Independent Group
 

That might not necessarily be true where they are "pushed".

Re: 11 MPs leave their Parties to join The Independent Group
 

I know you're being somewhat ironic there, but I do think you are right - they were elected for their party, and now they've changed sides there should be a by-election.
