UK Conservative MP explains why he’s calling for Truss to step down.
MP’s are entitled to their own ideas and opinions. That’s their ‘right.’

A politician is only allowed to exercise two rights – the right to be elected and the right to be a party member. But when a party wants to prevent someone from being elected that means the person has no rights.
As a result, if a party wishes to prevent someone from being a member, then they don’t have a right under human law to prevent someone being elected. Therefore, the party does have the right to remove someone’s human rights, which includes the right to vote.
