MPs who promise to stay loyal to a political party could be replaced with wind-up vote machines for a fraction of the cost of their salaries.

MPs who promise to stay loyal to a political party could be replaced with wind-up vote machines for a fraction of the cost of their salaries.

Their job is to represent their ridings, not a party. Political parties are big, incorporated special interest groups that MPs are free to join or leave as it suits their work. That's how our political system works.

If in a year or two, 4 or 5 Liberal MPs were to become disenchanted with PM Carney and cross to the Conservatives, I'm sure Mr Poilievre's display of fake moral outrage would abruptly end (assuming he's still leader by then).

tl;dr Political parties are toxic. Just ignore them and elect decent MPs to represent you.
