Whipping on indicative votes 15:20 - Mar 27 with 2169 views | StokieBlue | Doesn’t this totally defeat the point of the whole process? I actually agree with the Labour proposal to have a confirmatory referendum on any deal but surely whipping to ensure that gets as much support as possible is against the whole purpose of indicative votes?

Agree. The point is that neither side should be imposing whips and that all MPs can vote freely so we can actually see where the way forward lay. SB | |

Whipping on indicative votes on 15:24 - Mar 27 with 2145 views | Herbivore | The whole thing continues to be a farce. This ought to have been a free vote for all MPs, no ifs or buts. Politicising it means we're less likely to get clear results and we end up back at square one. | |

How could it split any further in any case? I spose the uber-brexiteers could turn on the more mild ones, but who cares about that? | |

I'm disappointed that my petition to cut Norfolk off from the rest of the UK with a wall has not garnered more support. | |

The brexit voters could go on strike in protest. But once you discount the pensioners and benefits crowd, no one would notice. | |

We've all been so ground down by it that the likely response will be a resounding 'whatever'. | |

Whipping on indicative votes on 15:32 - Mar 27 with 2056 views | XYZ | May's position of the cabinet abstaining is equally poor. Even at this this late hour both May and Corbyn are jostling for perceived party advantages. Political groundhog day. Just lock 'em all in the chamber until they make a f*cken decision. Treat them like naughty teenagers. | | | |

I hadn't see that. I agree entirely, that's a rubbish position as well. It should be a free vote for all. It ridiculous they are still playing politics with this. SB | |

Whipping on indicative votes on 16:40 - Mar 27 with 1933 views | Oldsmoker | These votes are indicative and May can just ignore them. I've received an email from the Government saying that they won't revoke Article 50 just because I, along with 5.8million other people, signed a petition. The indicative vote on revoking Article 50 is therefore a waste of time. | |

I got that one this morning, and then the one below this afternoon, the date made me wonder Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed — “Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.”. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584 The debate is scheduled for 1 April 2019. Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript. Thanks, The Petitions team UK Government and Parliament | |
