In politics, crossing the floor has two meanings referring to a change of allegiance in a Westminster system parliament: voting against the approved party lines or changing to a second party after being elected to a first party.

For a question to be resolved in Parliament, a vote must be taken. Parliamentary parties usually vote as a team, with all party members voting the same way.

Crossing the floor occurs when a member of a parliamentary party walks across the chamber to vote against their party.
