It's criminal really to abstain on important votes, never mind life-death stuff like this

Parliament works strangely.

The opposition parties don't have to support or provide opposition to any government bill. This means it is then left to the government to whip it's own MPs to supports it's motions.

It's all the result of Mor Onic FPTP system - dysfunctional Govt that can't be pro-growth, best they can do is managed decline and even that they are doing very tulipy

Can you give an example of a perfect government system?

I can give you an example of a much better system - proportional representation where every vote actually counts. This is used around Europe and in most countries in the world, even in fake democracy regimes.

There are pretty much only 2 major countries in the world that still use FPTP system - UK and USA and both are FUBARed because of it.

Yet you've still chosen to be here.
