I don't mind the PM changing mid-term for the simple reason that I don't want the country facing an election every two years and the instability that comes with this. Plus we don't have a US-style constiution which elects a President. Though perhaps it should be capped at a maximum of two PMs per term.
But if an MP or councillor changes parties then they need to resign and face re-election - they are clearly now signed up to to a different manifesto than the one which they were elected on.

The country facing an election every two years might actually force parties to reckon with the issues that they refuse to touch, which arguably debilitate the country for even longer.
