When elected, do politicians owe their loyalty to their Party, or to their constituents?

"When elected, do politicians owe their loyalty to their Party, or to their constituents?"

I will turn that around and ask: Do the people who voted for the losing candidate owe their loyaly to the winner just because he is in your Party? If the winning candidate doesn't show loyalty to those who elected him why should those who opposed him all of a sudden become loyal?
