Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

Your scenario ties the status of an MP to a tie to a particular party. As previously mentioned, political parties are not mentioned in the Constitution.

What if the opposite were occur: for whatever reason, the party kicks the member out of caucus. Would they cease to be an MP, since they no longer represent the party they ran under? That would be tantamount to the party overriding the democratic wishes of the electorate of the riding.

Exactly. It puts power in the parties hands not the MPs. That allows power to be consolidated in very specific areas not repersenting the people of a region.

If anything the rules should go you have to live in a area for two years before you can run for that regions MP. No more parachute candidates, more regional representation in spite of what has already been done.

Party affiliation should always be at risk. Otherwise hardliners will take control and basically force others to follow or lose their jobs.

You’re jumping my gun, dammit. But let me get the sought clarifications first; he may already have a workaround on this.

Jim Belanger has denied rumours of floor crossing in a Facebook post. Looks like someone was just chasing engagement.
