Ms Swinson said she was "delighted" to welcome Ms Berger to the Liberal Democrats .
"We're thrilled to add her perspective, expertise and skills to our ever-growing parliamentary team," She Said .
Speaking to the BBC, Ms Berger, MP for Liverpool Wavertree, said: "We need to do everything possible to make sure the country, when the election comes, has a proper choice rather than choosing between the two terrible options of Johnson vs Corbyn. "
"The two-party system is over," she added.
Nina Houghton, Labour's constituency chairman in Wavertree, said Ms Berger was "ignoring the 80% of Wavertree voters who voted Labour".
She accused the MP of lacking the "courage" to resign and hold a by-election.
Ms Berger is the fourth MP in three months to join the Liberal Democrats - who now have 16 MPs in Parliament.

Shadow chancellor John Mcdonnell said any attempts to deselect her had been a result of her association with a breakaway party.
She attended a protest against anti-Semitism in the Labour Party in Westminster's Parliament Square in March 2018, and has campaigned vigorously on the issue.
This is not massively surprising. We have seen a steady trickle of those unaligned, lost MPs moving to the Lib Dems.
The Remainers are beginning to shuffle towards the Lib Dems as The Most clear, overt force for Remain.
There is No Doubt that Brexit is now really beginning to play for The Party . For everyone who wants to stop Brexit, they are a natural home.
