By-election for all swapping councillors

Change the rules so any elected official of all borough, council and parish councils can not switch party without a by-election.

Why is this important?

Often especially in local elections people vote for the party not the individual. However too often councillors switch parties or lose the whip. This can change the balance of power on a council and often is against the wishes of the people who voted for them. We need to ensure the integrity of local councils and force a by-election for all switches of alliance.
