As it is now, you as a voter know the rules the guy your electing has at his discrection.
It's your responsiblity to make sure the guy your electing carries out your expectations.
Don't have the Government make a bunch of silly laws just so you don't have to take any responsibility.
Beyond voting and moaning, how would you suggest someone accomplish this?
In this limited democracy we live in, the only say we have as citizens of this nation is our vote during elections... everything else is out of our hands and we can only hope those we voted for do what we expect them to do..... thus even when the MP we voted for jumps ship and goes to another party.... how do we stop them from doing this? How do we prevent our vote suddenly going to another political party we do not support??
And hoping those we elected do what we expected of them & doesn't cross the floor isn't much of an assurance that they will.... you make this wonderful claim about us voters being responsible in making sure the guy we're electing carries out our expectations, yet unless you can tell me how we can read their minds, predict the future and actually have some level of control over our MP's in that we ourselves can force our MP's to stay where they are and do the job we expected of them, we can't.
And if your answer is "hoping" the person you elected is honest and sticks to their election promises & ideals, then that's not good enough.
