Some may say that's alarmist, i'm not so sure now.

I agree. The way democracy works in this country, is (supposed to be) that we vote for the MPs who best represent our wishes and they then represent those wishes at parliament. If those above them can simply say "No, do as you're told or you're out"... then that entire system is revealed to be an absolute sham. "Sure you can vote for someone who represents your views, but if those views don't align with the front line, then tough."
Then again, maybe it always was this way. A joke. It's just so very clear now.
