Petition Text
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
• In Canada's parliamentary system, MPs are elected to represent their constituents under a party banner, but unrestricted floor-crossing can erode voter trust amid rising political corruption and scandals;
• Recent crossings, such as those by Conservative MPs to the Liberals, have occurred without the original party straying from its platform, raising concerns of opportunism over principle;
• Voters deserve immediate accountability when an MP switches to another party mid-term, potentially altering Parliament's balance without endorsement; and
• Allowing MPs to sit as independents preserves conscience without triggering elections, but joining another party should require voter confirmation.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada,, call upon the House of Commons to amend the Parliament of Canada Act to require that any Member of Parliament who crosses the floor to join another registered political party must vacate their seat and trigger a by-election in their riding, while permitting them to sit as an independent without such a requirement.
