And that's exactly how original PM believes British democracy works/should work

Maybe the UK needs a US system where you vote for 3 parts? An executive office.

Not that it would help the current mess.....

They aren’t allowed to vote with their conscience or according to their constituency’s wishes. The Tory MPs must now vote exactly as BJ/Cums force them to.

The vote is for the individual. One of the splendours of British Parliamentary democracy.

This!

I don't get this.

So this guy was voted in as a Tory by the people in his constituency.

If he then can decide to play for another team should there not be a local election where he has to stand as a lib Dem and the Tories can field a different candidate?

I mean surely if you planned it enough then you simply put plants everywhere to run as the local candidate for the popular party of the constituency and the switch sides when voted in?

You clearly don't understand how British democracy works...

[WTFH]

There is something very wrong about that.

Are you sure? Seems to fit the bill.

Or is Spaffer & Staffer a better term for the two winkers?

If they represented the views of their constituents then they would send all the Indian and Pakistani people back to Europe

Alot of people blame immigrants when they should be blaming politicians.

A politician, a constituent and an immigrant are in a cafe with 10 doughnuts. The politician takes 9 doughnuts then says to the constituent "The immigrant is trying to steal your doughnut".....

Then claim the constituents would want them to vote with their conscience.

Ken Clarke urges MPs to 'vote with their conscience' during Bexit bill

We know. You don't get many things, and still you post in an adult forum

Google is your friend. Go and use it to see how our democracy works

[AtW]

Have they really worked even when they had a majority?

[TestMangler]

All it takes is a couple of abstentions or people who think Corbyn is worse than BoJo (remember not everyone else is Labour, there is still a lot of SNP/Plaid Cymru/SDLP/Lib Dem)

There is no ******* way on earth that anyone from the SNP will vote with the tories. The lib dums on the other hand.......and some Labour can't be relied upon to support their own party.
