ALPHA on Sunday will present a report on whether a Member of Parliament's seat belongs to the individual or the party that elected them. The issue arises after cases of MPs who have become independent, raising questions about who is entitled to the seat. The report is expected to examine the legal and political aspects of the issue, as well as the potential consequences for the political landscape. The independence of MPs is a phenomenon that has increased in recent years, creating uncertainty about the stability of parliamentary majorities.
