I didn't understand that MP's had to follow the whip even if whichever policy was being voted on harmed their constituency. It makes contacting your MP to consider speaking against legislation proposed by their party feel exceptionally futile.

They don't have to follow the whip. Career-wise they are very much incentivised to follow a three-line whip but they don't HAVE to.
