Here we must take notice of Edmund Burke's speech to the electors of Bristol in 1774.
It is a fine line MP's have to tread often, but they are not mere Delegates, but Representatives.
Nah I think that's giving it a very lofty sugar coating. We're talking about MPs and staff that regularly slandered the party and leader to the press, hid party funds so they could only be used in constituencies of their allies, sabotaged the party's complaints process, had racist whatsapp group chats to bully the MPs and campaigners they didn't like.
We're not talking about someone voting with their conscience against the whip system.
