That’s how democracy in Britain works. You vote for a party, not a person. The party is free to make changes to the internal structure as they see fit.
Well, not to undermine the gist of your point (which I agree with) but instead of voting for a party per se, you actually vote for a local Member of Parliament, who can be a member of a party or not, and is free to switch party whenever they like as they sees fit.

Sorry, yes of course! It’s the switching of parties that I always forget is possible.
Actually you vote for a local MP who chooses to associate with other like-minded (ha!) MPs.
