That is a vote against war, in no uncertain terms. <BR/><BR/>Having failed to pass the amendment (by 179 votes) it probably seemed evident to her that the government would get its way. It’s not surprising that she failed to vote against the government on the second vote, given that she considers it her duty to follow the whip. She had already made her protest vote, why make another? She tried, she failed, she gave up. It’s not admirable, but it’s believable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916651228966715021.post-28401349901407775622007-03-10T07:16:00.000+00:002007-03-10T07:16:00.000+00:00If I've got this right - Karen Buck can say she vo...If I've got this right - Karen Buck can say she voted against the war on Iraq because the motion she voted for said she believed the case for WMD was unproven. After the invasion, in the 11 votes for an inquiry which could have proven she was correct, she didn't vote for an inquiry.<BR/><BR/>If she was my MP I'd be pulling my hair out at the gall of the woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916651228966715021.post-64888452762135789162007-03-09T18:19:00.000+00:002007-03-09T18:19:00.000+00:00http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/ rules.Fantastic site...http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/ rules.<BR/>Fantastic site.
