I'm guessing the Tories and the Liberals had no chance against the Labour majority though. They should have just rebelled again
Nah, you're right, there were a lot of back benchers who saw this issue in far too personal terms. It was very much a commons vs. lords issue, when it should have been about the bill in question.
The only news I get is from Guardian on Sat, I'm going to see if it's their then.
If you write a proper letter then you're more likely to get a response.
My MP may well vote with the government ALL the time but at least he responds when I write to him with decent responses.
No, but I may well do, if i manage to find out enough info about this thing....
www.theyworkforyou.com will tell you the voting record of your MP.
And www.faxyourmp.co.uk will give you their address if you want to write to them.
In Exeter, Ben Bradshaw is a complete Blairite, and at home David Liddington well..he's a Tory. And I have met him....and he's just...yuck.
You could write to him saying that you're not normally a Tory but you did agree with this stance and that you might consider voting for them if they carry on with that stance.
My vote to them wouldn't matter they have a massive majority at home anyway. And evening saying I might support one....*shudder* I may try and find the nearest Liberal.
Its a bit lengthy but its interesting none the less.

the attack was worked out between george and tony last week ...they will be putting the finnishing touches to making you feel glad ...soon.
long term state of our democracy is more important than temporary issues like health etc.... however im quite sure the tories wouldnt revoke this law
what im wondering is, is that surely this is what terroists want - a police state, as its our freedoms and liberty that extremists despice, yet what what to do we do - we make our country less free and less democratic
This is WAY worse than even the second version of the Patriot Act.
people in nazi germany were aware.
i think less people are aware or even interested than you think.
try having a serious conversation in anything goes where the majority of posters are ...you get accused of being a doom and gloom depressing fucker.
people don't like or even have to face reality as often as they would like to believe.
celebrity and fashion seem to hold far greater sway.
Thats so true, ask most people in Anything Goes how much news they pay attention to and most will say none.
I think you might be mistaken about that. If you actually read the thing you'll find that the Govt. only have to be convinced that an emergency is about to occur before they're allowed to make emergency regulations. So in fact, nothing actually has to HAPPEN at all.
