How parties have come under fire over complaints against MPs
Briefly

The decision to hand misconduct complaints to the Independent Complaints and Grievance System (ICGS) marks a significant shift from internal investigations to a more standardized and impartial approach.
Proponents argue that this new process will enhance confidence among those making complaints about MPs, ensuring fair treatment and transparency in serious misconduct cases.
History has shown that internal party processes often fall short in effectively addressing allegations of bullying, harassment, and inappropriate behavior, necessitating an independent mechanism.
The unfolding of recent scandals has indicated a systemic issue within political parties, prompting calls for an overhaul to restore trust and accountability among MPs.
