That would depend on what the ‘new information’ is.

I think you've made the argument against your own argument there - because an MP could say that they were trying to achieve the end result of their manifesto whichever way they voted so they could buddy up with other people anyway.
For instance, their manifesto says that they will want to support more people going to college - a bill is presented that says that by law parents have to take out a covenant at birth. They could either vote for it or against it under the new freedom voting that you're introducing. An MP could argue that voting against the bill meant that students would take out their own funding and make them responsible for their own education. See what I mean, they could argue either way that it supported their manifesto so that would give them freedom to buddy up with any other MP.
