AV Vote, who do i contact re; missing ballot paper?

I have always had issues with the whips and towing-the-party-line. MP's should be allowed to make up their own mind and vote anonymously. If you don't know a record is kept how an MP votes, either for or against a decision.

I see your point.

Whilst I get that a particular political party will feel like they should be "on message" - party politics needs to remember that MPs were voted by constituencies, whom MPs represent - and as such, as much as the party line, MPs should also be allowed to go with their conscience and their feeling of the pulse of their constituency.

Then I remember, it's party politics we're talking about, and rue my naivety and idealism.

well if 70% of the people who care enough to vote about it say no, then that sounds fair enough to me.

QFT.
