Those who get abused via modern slavery, do get stuck with these hours and pay.

Not if you're self employed there isn't, workers rights must be closely watched in our post brexit race to the bottom or else they'll be eroded mercilessly

Mmm third change of party, he can't possibly have any sort of mandate to represent his constituency

But didn't his constituents vote for the Labour Party and completely reject the Liberal Democrats…

You vote for a candidate first, the party is secondary. He should go for a by-election anyway, He'd win on account of the other 2 parties are a shambles.

Nope, that’s wrong. As Peterborough showed last week. Lisa Forbes, allegedly liked a Facebook post that was Antisemitic, Peterborough was a Labour gain last time and it held it this time. It was the party people were voting for, not the candidate. Chuka Ummuna, is just a pathetic whinge bag, who has hopped from Party to party, the Change UK party which he initially joined, but left because it failed miserably and still has a identity crisis as it went through yet another name change.

The law needs to change when an MP resigns their party whip that they must step down and a by-election called.

Fixed term Parliament Act, would either need to be repealed or amended.

I don't recall ever seeing those instructions on a voting slip, do you have an example of where they are printed?

The candidates name is first and the party they represent is second.

Which order they appear is irrelevant, why do you think Labour did so badly in local elections and European?

Because of their mixed message on Brexit. It’s why Lib Dem’s surged and Brexit Party triumphed from nowhere.

Who the candidate is, rarely factors in the decision of voting. The party is usually important, because it’s the party as a collective which sets out its policies.

Glib responses have little worth.

what a load of rubbish. You normally come up with sensible stuff.

Gravity is a universal force. The WTD is a contrivance to suit poor working practices elsewhere, particularly France.

How do you account for Frances poor working practices as you call it giving them a higher productivity than the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden etc. - https://tradingeconomics.com/country...ntinent=europe

He's one of those who don't care what the people voted for,so he's probably in the right party now.

Some people vote for the person over their party, others vote along party lines regardless of the candidate, yet others some combination of the two.
