Poor 'renegades'

Re: "Pheu Thai 'renegades' face chop", (BP, June 5).

It's a sad testimony on the divisive state of politics when MPs are expected to blindly adhere to party directives about how to vote on bills rather than vote according to their consciences and the perceived benefits to constituents and the country. Putting aside the actual merits of the budget bill, which can be debated, it is disappointing to see that "renegade" MPs would be ousted from their party for voting in line with what they think is best for the people they were elected to represent.
