      [Worth noting:](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-carney-floor-crossing-majority-analysis-9.7021158)

      >Poilievre was, for instance, a member of the Conservative caucus when former Liberal MPs [David Emerson](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/ex-liberal-minister-from-b-c-joins-harper-1.610300) (2006), [Wajid Khan](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ontario-mp-khan-leaves-liberals-to-join-tories-1.633168) (2007), [Joe Comuzzi](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/independent-mp-to-join-tories-report-1.644229) (2007) and [Leona Alleslev](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-floor-crosser-leona-alleslev-1.4826567) (2018) chose to become Conservative MPs, either directly or after parting company with the Liberal Party.

      And,

      >Poilievre was among those Conservative MPs who [voted against](https://openparliament.ca/votes/41-1/123/) an [NDP MP’s bill](https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/41-1/c-306) in 2012 that would have forced floor-crossers to run in a byelection before switching parties.

      So it would seem that the recent *numerous* crossings out of his caucus has significantly influenced his opinion.

      If they don’t stay in line they need to be removed from parliament is a very bold take…excited to see the very very reasonable NDP voices agree wholeheartedly with silencing and removing those who don’t stay in line.

      Funny. 

      >Poilievre was joined by a number of Conservative MPs, which he said was a sign that his party is unified.

      Is this the Beaverton? Giving them a run for their money. Anyway, I think recall petitions would be a good way to compromise between automatic byelection and nothing at all, although I kind of doubt anyone could manage to get recalled for floor crossing if the requirements are set reasonably like in BC or AB.

      You had your chance Pierre.

      Unfortunately, you don’t seem to be taking the hints that several within your own party caucus have been giving you.

      Step dpwn.

      If we ever get a federal Conservative government that brings in recall legislation, you just know it’ll be like Alberta with the rules changing as soon as one of *their* MPs is at risk.

      I wonder if Poilievre could have been recalled from Carleton when he was busy attacking the public service?

    6. BertramPotts on

      What a stunning political development, too bad about needing a majority to pass the legislation to effect it, I’m sure the next tory majority will prioritize this right away and all this jabber is not wholly down to grousing about behaviour they’d eagerly endorse if the Party names were reversed.

      He is such a knob, he is 100% the reason why the Trudeau Liberals government was immediately followed by the Carney Liberals government.

    8. xerexes1 on

      Says the guy who was voted out of office.

      It was only because he was the leader of the party that he got a second chance to run in a byelection.

    9. Lanky-Concept-4984 on

      What does he know about democracy? His leadership review was stacked with so many loyalists and sycophants that it would make Kim Jong Un blush.

      Read the room, pal. Your caucus is telling you something!

    10. Schrodinger_cube on

      Didn’t he vote to supporting floor crossing already? Now that the shoe is on the other foot he has changed his mind. Rules for theee~ but not for mee~.

    11. Weary_Position_9591 on

      I agree it’s a moral gray area and I understand how it can be perceived as unfair to democracy (I am on the fence about it), but Conservatives have gladly accepted it when they were in power and certainly weren’t calling for changes then, nor would they if they formed government now.

    12. PineBNorth85 on

      He’s a total hypocrite. If they were crossing to him he’d welcome them with open arms like Scheer and Harper did.

    13. cyclingkingsley on

      Know what’s even better? People should not be allowed to go to another riding for a seat in the parliament because they lost in their own….

    14. Long-Definition9203 on

      Floor crossing isnt new, just as Justin Trudeau stepping down and the party selecting the successor wasn’t new but conservatives were up in arms about that too when it didn’t benefit them. I will say though, I am of two minds on floor crossings. I would prefer for them to sit as independents.

    15. Oafah on

      The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

      His party has received just as many crossers as they’ve lost over the years. I just can’t take anything this man says seriously.

    16. Zyrian1954 on

      I feel the same way about floor crossers as I do about politicians who get voted out and who then jump into a safe constituency and thereby force a by election so they can keep their cushy job and pension. Seems to me that one is just as bad as the other.
