The NDP floor crosser did so at the request of their constituents. They wanted their MP to be in the leading party to have more influence for their small region.

Who and how many? Did they take a vote? Isn't that what a by-election is?

Sounds like a personal decision. Don't think it gets more fair coverage than this article from APTN. If it is the will of the electorate have them vote.

Doesn't matter if the person is genuine. If this is what the voters truly wanted, even though they got no vote, floor crossings will be exploited by bad actors in the future unless it is remedied.

I'm not sure but I think the community they're from is fairly small, so they probably just talked about it and came to a general agreement.
