Every party hates floor-crossing unless they benefit from it. This proposal doesn't quite make sense though - what if to bypass it, an MP from party A announces that while they can't join party B, they'll just "independently" happen to vote alongside it? Are you going to strip that MP of their vote? At that point just get rid of MPs and give their votes to the party leaders.
