Why can an MP get elected with one party, then switch sides without facing their voters again while taxpayers still fund up to $830,190/yr?

So who really comes out ahead when MP Lori Idlout just decided to ditch her party and who really wins? Not the voters. The Mp does Without a doubt. 

And in Lori's case it will become unbelievably apparent why below, after betraying her voters and her own integrity for money and influence. 

Tax-Payer Cost per year for Lori Idlout:

• $209,800/yr salary for holding the seat. 

• $535,640/yr total office budget for Nunavut., made up of the $429,600 base office budget, + $76,740 in added geographic funding because Nunavut falls in the highest size bracket, + $????????,???????????? in added northern funding because it qualifies for the remote-region supplement, with up to $16,069 of that total available for miscellaneous expenses. 

• $107,128/yr advertising expenses limit within that office budget for communications and advertising.

Why can an MP get elected with one party, then switch sides without facing their voters again while taxpayers still fund up to $????????????,????????????/???????? tied to that seat and its perks? Why are we ok with this?

I pulled the numbers folks. Make sure you’re sitting down for this. ⤵️????????… pic.twitter.com/ksRSSzJdLj
