A helpful summary and I learnt a few points.

While I understand your concerns about MPs having to vote for the party line rather than what may be their constituents' views, the missing factor in your review is the party manifesto. If an MP campaigns as a representative of party X and gets elected on that basis, then it does make sense he should have to vote to implement the manifesto and to support party consensus or leadership on the best way to do that.
