Proposal to Ban Party Defection Within One Year of Elections

I propose banning registered party members from defecting to another party within one calendar year before or during an electoral cycle. Members expelled or suspended by their party would be exempt from this rule. Similar measures already exist. New laws target large cash movements outside digital networks after politicians like Giringori were caught moving embezzled funds. Electoral amendments also curb candidates who jump parties after losing primaries. I urge lawmakers to include this anti-defection provision in the Electoral Act to safeguard our democratic process.
