It's a fairly standard punishment in Parliamentary systems of government, if the expressed opinions of an MP or peer deviate too far from the party line. It's always possible to apologise and regain the whip, of course: look at Ken Livingstone. Of course, if you've done something minor, like father two children by your mistress, give her free first class rail tickets and speed up her nanny's visa application, while all the while extolling the virtues of a healthy, stable family life, then it's perfectly OK to remain Home Secretary.
