That's a byproduct of the party system, the MP's have to represent their constituents but they also have to represent the policy and platform that they were elected under. It's no different than the Liberal MP's who have opposed abortion or NDP MP's who opposed the gun registry. Is he truly representing the voters of this community or is he simply pushing his own agenda?
