Floor crossing should trigger an immediate by-election, whether federal or provincial. When an elected official switches parties, they betray the voters and volunteers who elected them under a specific banner. The public trust placed in them does not automatically transfer to a new party. If a member is so... show more

Here's my take on floor crossing. Being an MP isn't about the politician. It's about the people who voted for them, the leader they believed in, and the party they elected to represent them in Ottawa. Floor crossing breaks that promise, and Canadians deserve better. Last year, the people of Vaughan-Woodbridge voted for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada. You chose his vision of hope, affordability, and real change. I'm proud to carry that mandate as your Conservative MP, and I will never betray that trust.

Canadians elected a Liberal minority, not a majority and trying to build one is a power grab. I won't be crossing the floor. I won't betray the people who put their trust in me.

Politicians laughed while they took your vote away! Canadians deserve better than this. What you’re about to see is not leadership — it’s political theatre. MPs laughing, applauding, and celebrating while abandoning the very voters who put them in office. If an MP walks away from the platform they were elected on, the seat belongs back to the people. Period. Anything less is a mockery of democracy. Watch closely — because this moment shows exactly how much respect some politicians have for voters.

Avi Lewis says FLOOR CROSSING erodes public trust in our democracy That’s why the NDP has a mandate requiring an MP to step down and call a by-election if you want to change party That’s funny because MP Lori Idlout didnt get the MEMO

People are devastated. The most common question I’m getting: “What’s the point of voting?” Especially when a MP can unilaterally decide to switch parties. -Floor crossing should trigger a by-election -MPs should be randomly drug tested -Ethics violations should nullify pensions We need to start holding our elected officials accountable. This is treason to every constituent who voted for Michael Ma.

Local call out the Real fascists racists Who pushes identity politics. Call them out. Ask for their resignations. If they ( The elected) used any funding from the tax payers " We The People" in this country for personal gain. If they call you a racist or whatever the new hate trend is, ask them to resign. Now is the time to file affidavits in every state, city, and county. Every elected official who do not bend to the will of the people, go for their Seats.

Today I introduced legislation to ban floor crossing without voter consent. When MPs switch parties after an election, they override the will of the people and erode trust. My bill restores accountability: if you want to change parties, face your constituents and let them decide.

AYA RAM, GAYA RAM. BUT WITH A BRITISH TWIST. Four Prime Ministers in four years. Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer won landslides. Different parties, different reasons but exactly the same fate. When a leader becomes a NPA Britain's parties don't wait for the next election but they sack them midstream. It's brutal but isn't it a sleight of hand? If a party won on the back of projecting one leader that voters elected then should there not be a fresh poll? Why should a party SELECT a leader on behalf of voters they didn't elect?

If voters can HIRE a neta, they should be able to FIRE the neta too. If Indian voters have the Right to Elect, they should have the ‘RIGHT TO RECALL’ too. Right to Recall is a mechanism that empowers voters to de-elect an elected representative, before their term ends, if they fail to discharge their duties. If we can impeach the President, the Vice President and judges, and move a no confidence motion against an elected government mid term, then why should voters be forced to tolerate a non performing MP or MLA for five full years. Five years is too long. There is no profession where you underperform for five years with zero consequences. More than 24 democracies in the world such as the United States, Switzerland etc. provide arecall or voter initiated removal mechanisms in some form. If Indian voters have the right to elect, they should have the right to recall too. However, there should be safeguards to prevent misuse: Threshold - At least 35 to 40 percent voters should back a recall trigger through a verified petition before any recall vote is held Cooling period - A minimum 18 month lock in after election so the representative has time to deliver and cannot be targeted immediately after winning Clear grounds- Recall only for proven misconduct, fraud, corruption or serious neglect of duty, not everyday political disagreements Final test- Recall succeeds only if more than 50 percent voters support removal in the recall vote This is citizen empowerment. It will push parties to field performers, reduce corruption, and bring democracy back to accountability. Voters have the right to vote someone into office and they should have the right to vote them out of office too.

Fine Gael have kicked off this election by Laughing and jeering at teachers with a multi-millionaire CEO. They have perfectly illustrated to the country who exactly they are and the utter contempt they have for ordinary people. When they tell you what they think about working people, listen to them and believe them. They think Ireland should just be run by the millionaires and the landlords, not teachers or ordinary working people. We need an immediate apology to our teachers by Simon Harris TD #peoplebeforeprofit #finegael #peterburke #simonharris

#WATCH | Patna: On the Bankipur by-election,Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor says, "...If people want to change Samrat Choudhary's rule and break the BJP's arrogance, then they should vote for change this time.

The voters of Bankipur will have to decide whether they want a Chief Minister like Samrat Choudhary or a better person like Prashant Kishor who represents them."

These protesters have pitched a tent on private property over a city issue, and the owners called them in for trespassing. The “leader” tells the police she's the liaison and they need to go through her so she can relay information back to them. The problem is, she’s not very bright. Watch as she makes a fool of herself. What should happen to people who think they can protest on private property or public streets? It’s an issue in our current environment.

#WATCH: Liberals say Canadians elected them because they have a plan to make housing more affordable. Are these people delusional or retarded? The entire election was about Trump. There should be a penalty for lying in the House of Commons!

The previous BC Liberal Party stopped being a real opposition to the NDP. They voted for SOGI in schools. They condemned the Freedom Convoy. They supported the NDP's handling of COVID including the lockdowns and mandates. They could not even find something to criticize as an opposition party. They abandoned conservatives. Conservatives did not abandon them. That is why I am leading this party to become your next Premier in this leadership race. We will be the real opposition British Columbians deserve and deliver the change our province needs. Join Me,

Trump and his administration's lies are not only an immediate threat to the American people, they are a threat to our democracy and trust in government. Republicans must stand up to this lawlessness.

With less than a month to go until Election Day, the people in our district deserve to hear from their candidates before they vote. That is why I’m calling on my opponent – Chip Roy – to a public debate. I am ready, and so are our voters!!

[WATCH] The Joburg council minority parties motion of no confidence is one that we do not support. When Kenny Kunene was not allowed to go back we intervened and told cdes that we cannot dictate to Patriotic Alliance who they should put in. We are in coalition with them and agreed to give them the portfolio of transport, but we couldn’t dictate who goes into that portfolio. Now why is it that when the minority parties have a grievance with the mayor they want to gang up with their coalition partner and demand that the mayor must resign. In a coalition partners can’t dictate to other parties who should they bring in. #ANC114
