Apperently he as had a local no confidence vote we're he represents, i think his constituts are a little ticked off with him. I assume that he will eventually be deselected. I think he is a tory mp as well.

Conservative MP for Beaconsfield, which voted Remain

There are things going on in the background apparently. Expect Conservative Central HQ to nip it in the bud.

They have had 200 new members and the motion was brought by the former UKIP candidate in the seat.

There might well be "something going on".

There will be a lot of this on all sides of the political spectrum in the next few years, whether based on Brexit, pro/anti Corbyn or the colour of an MP's socks.

In most cases, it's because the membership tend to be more radical than their incumbent MP, whether on the left or right.

An MP is voted in by his Constituency and not his local association. He is quite right to ignore them, if he stood as an independent in the next election he’d get in. Party politics is failing big time

Apparently the Leave faction in Conservative HQ is inciting local constituencies to deselect any remainer MPs. Rather sinister.

Not to mention Mr Banks who is behind a lot of this entryism

It's the Tory party, they are free to ignore such votes and often do. They have their own party rules.

Whilst that might be true, if you ignore your constituency party, you can "parachute" candidates in to safe party seats. This is why there is the uproar about Chukka and his mates, who got in on the strength of the manifestos of parties which they no longer represent. If they stood as independent, all would probably lose their seats.

In Filton, South Glos we voted 51.2% remain.

Our MP, Jack Lopresti (Cons) voted in support of May's plan for withdrawal consistently each of the 3 times it was voted on.

And yet, on the vote for 8 different options he voted against every single one of them, apart from the hard brexit, no deal one.

Go figure.

He's not a delegate though.

He's supposed to make the best choice in the interests of his delegates.

In a city with a large number of international companies I'm not sure how he's come to the conclusion that he has but...

It is not so much his representation of his constituents, but more the inconsistency in his own votes.

All MPs have woken up to the big dilemmas that Brexit has brought to the floor.

1. Are they delegates to their constituents wishes or should they represent what they think is in their constituents best interests?

2. Should they follow party lines or should they vote on personal instinct.

3. If they are elected on a mandate and then find that they cannot follow that mandate, should they stand for the Chiltern Hundreds or simply carry on following their own agenda?

We all have opinions but Brexit has exposed Parliament to confusion by not being confined to the electorate in favour of one party or another.

Just as extreme left wingers invaded the labour party, so have extreme right wingers invaded the conservative party.

I would say thats a fair assumption.
