There are all of 27 of them.
They might as well not exist unless Labour votes with them, which is the power that their own party and the other side each and both have over them.
And precisely one MP who stood openly under their sort of colours was elected this year. One. He will not be in the next Parliament. He is unlikely to try.
There are 110 Tory MPs signed up to Conservatives for Britain-and todays rebels alone are easily enough to overturn a majority of 12.
ReplyDeleteThey're the only MPs representing 4 million British UKIP voters in Parliament.
More than voted for the SNP and the Lib Dems combined.
Plus the millions of other patriots who voted Tory because it was the only party capable of winning that pledged an EU referendum and abolition of the Human Rights Act.
The only opponents of David Cameron's attempt to rig the referendum are in his own Government.
They are nothing unless Labour votes with them. It didn't even bother to vote against them. It more or less agreed with them. But it put them in their place.
DeleteCameron's rigged referendum goes through thanks to the absence of an Opposition. A referendum Bill opposed by the Electoral Commission.
ReplyDeleteBut not by the disgusting traitors we call Her Majesty's "Opposition".
Sore Loser is not a good look.
DeleteCameron is laughing at the absence of any Opposition in Parliament.
ReplyDeleteThe only opposition to Cameron is on his own backbenches.
He relied on Labour to save him from his own party's rebellion and pass gay marriage into law.
Now he's relied on Labour to save a disgracefully rigged referendum from 97 MP's-one condemned as a fraud by the Electoral Commission.
Funniest quote of today....“Labour have yet again chosen to abstain on a key vote – they need to find a backbone and become an effective opposition in parliament. The UK government has already caved on its proposal to have the EU referendum on the same day as the Scottish and other elections – but now because of Labour, we’ve missed the opportunity to defeat the government on purdah restrictions.”
Labour become an Opposition? Cameron would laugh at that!
A vote in which the Official Opposition does not vote is by definition not a key vote.
