Floor crossing in the Commons is an odious practice that infuriates voters, New Democrat MP Don Davies (Vancouver Kingsway) said yesterday. Davies sponsored a private bill that would require all MPs who quit one caucus for another to face home electors in a byelection: “Political opportunism has gotten to such a point in this place that it’s overriding fundamental respect for democracy.”
It's one thing to switch parties.
It's another to assume that your voters meant for you to do that.
