Westminster Politics

Remember when Corbyn did stupid things like open his mouth, talk about policies, and oppose the government? Glad that doesn't happen anymore because it was that sort of thing that let the Tories get away with their endless bullshit.

You don't usually abstain in absence, there's the whole proxy vote system.

There is no proxy vote system. There is only one if someone is away for childbirth or child related stuff. There was something in place for the pandemic but that has now expired in July I believe and the Tories (Rees Mogg) didn't want to carry it on.
 
It's a weird one as I genuinely think that Brexit voters for example actually cannot now vote against Boris, as it would mean that he wasn't their saviour, that he hasn't taken them to the promised lands of sunlit uplands. It would just mean he is what he is, a self-righteous bigoted piece of shit!
 
Some of you need to get a life. Worrying about politics. Ha. There's more important things that actually have an impact on our lives to pay attention. Besides, the economy is doing really well so the Tories are obviously doing a good job *sips gruel from plastic bag*

I think there is truth to this theroy; the immovable proportions of both those that will vote Tory and think Brexit is good are pretty much the same.

I think a lot of them can’t vote against anything related to Brexit in general as it would mean admitting they made a mistake and were lied to by their saviour.

The pairing system predates the pandemic they've been doing it for yonks it was just formalised with the pandemic because it was never a proper arrangement. The whips are supposed to sort it all.

I kind of agree. BoJo has become the fulfilment, embodiment of their concpiracy theory ("britannia ruled the world when it was not in the eu"). Voting against BoJo must be hard for Brexiteers, probably as hard as for anti-vaxxers getting jabbed.

But aside from that, there was a seperate proxy system initially for MPs giving childbirth but then the pandemic but it was scrapped in May.
 
feck me, is therre any sense of personal responsibility with these cnut, williamson quoted as saying the investigation played a part in the death of his wife, no mention of his BLATENT LYING AND CORRUPTION being partly to blame, its the fact he was investigated.

I think that's nonsense tbh. There's no way at least some of those red wall and Sunderland, Hull etc traditional Labour strongholds that went blue for Brexit don't start getting pissed and looking for an alternative home.

We need new laws to deal with corruption in public office. And talk of suspension and resigning doesn't cut it, there should be trial and substantial prison sentences.

And while it's obvious some Tory MPs are corrupt as feck I believe things are just as bad in local government, with Labour councillors very much involved as well as Tories. The odd one has been convicted of course, but it's the tip of the iceberg for me.
