MPs are elected to represent their constituents by pursuing the policies and views of the political party in whose name they stand for election. That is how Party-political representative democracies work.

They are not elected to 'represent the views of their voting constituents' - their voting constituents will undoubtedly have many varied, widely differing views on any given subject, common sense dictates that it would be impossible for an MP to represent that wide range of views.
