They can vote how they want, but I believe most parties use the whip extensively. So they could be kicked from the party/lose party funding. Crossing the floor secured them money from the new party.


There’s nothing weird about this. There was a string of by-elections, so people cast votes (in those ridings). This is how parliamentary governments work.

I can see complaints about floor-crossing though. That’s an act that didn’t involve the voters.



I think you have your numbers confused. The right wants to reduce trans numbers to 0%. The left doesn’t care about increasing numbers, only treating trans people like human beings.
