EX-Labour MP Mike Amesbury is confronted with a growing shouting to stop today after being imprisoned to hit a voter on the street.
The 55-year-old was instructed to serve in prison for 10 weeks after he admitted that he attacked a man in Frodsham, Cheshire, drunk last October.
But Amesbury will still be entitled to his £ 91,000 salary as Runcorn & Helsby MP unless he resigns because the process of forceing an interim election can take months.
He has been independent since he was suspended by work after his arrest last year.
Touring Broadcast Studios This morning said the Interior Minister Yvette Cooper that his voters needed new representation as quickly as possible.
“I want to see him clearly resigning or recall a face, and so that we can have a new parliamentary member,” she told the BBC Radio 4's Today program.

Press whether she thought that Amesbury should receive full wage, said Mrs. Cooper: 'I think you ask me about parliamentary rules and procedure, which are clearly separate from those of the government … I make my opinion clear, Which is that I want to see the people of Runcorn who get new representation as quickly as possible.

A recall -petition can be launched after a custodial sentence for a member of parliament, but it has to wait until a profession is exhausted and remains open for six weeks. There is also the possibility of a commons standards process.
The reform of Nigel Farage looks at a breakthrough of the elections in Runcorn and Helsby after the second place of Amesbury in the chair in the general elections of last July.
Amesbury, who has been a member of parliament since 2017, won the constituency last summer with a majority of 14,696 Vote as part of Labor's victory.
But the bumpy start of Sir Keir to life, because PM means that Labor is experiencing a much more difficult battle, while they want to hold the constituency in a likely interim election.
The Tories finished third in the General Elections of July, more than 900 votes behind the reform.
A spokesperson for the independent parliamentary standards authority confirmed that Amesbury will still receive his £ 91,346 salary while he is in prison.
“He will be paid as a member of parliament,” they said.
“The Parliamentary Standards Act states that MPs receive a salary until they are no longer MP for whatever reason: Ipsa has no discretion about this.”
Amesbury has been in the Lower House as an independent parliamentary member since he was suspended by the birth after his arrest last year.
He claimed that he was 'threatened' before the attack in his Cheshire constituency in the early hours of 26 October.
But CCTV images, exclusively obtained by MailOnline, showed him at the time that he threw a punch without physical provocation.
Amesbury then keeps touching the man several times while he was lying on the floor.

The politician was filmed, striking component Paul Fellows after the couple had a heated discussion at 2 am in the hometown of Amesbury.
He then hit Mr. Fellows, 45, five times when he was on the floor in what a court belonged, was a non -loked attack.
While Amesbury was sentenced to 10 weeks at HMP Altcourse and ordered a fine of £ 280 to pay, Judge Tan Ikram said: 'Your reference to member of the Parliament has a negative impact for the office where you have the privilege.
“Your position means that you should be a role model for others, that is something you should take into account in everything you do.”
Judge Ikram refused an immediate request for bail pending an appeal against the punishment.
