Why political parties have failed to expel errant members in the past

Since the enactment of the Political Parties Act 2011, no party has succeeded in expelling either elected or nominated members.

While the law drafters wanted to instil discipline in members of political parties by proposing ways in which a member is deemed to have resigned from the party, players in the political field believed they were deliberate by making it difficult for members to be expelled.
