No. 'The first duty of a member of Parliament is to do what he thinks in his faithful and disinterested judgement is right and necessary for the honour and safety of Great Britain." House of Commons pamphlet. End of argument.

@paulies5407 . Go read it for yourself. https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/elections-and-voting/swearingin/ The first duty of a member of Parliament is to do what he thinks in his faithful and disinterested judgement is right and necessary for the honour and safety of Great Britain. His second duty is to his constituents, of whom he is the representative but not the delegate. Burke's famous declaration on this subject is well known. It is only in the third place that his duty to party organization or programme takes rank. All these three loyalties should be observed, but there is no doubt of the order in which they stand under any healthy manifestation of democracy. — Winston Churchill, Duties of a Member of Parliament (c.1954-1955)[6]
