You'd wonder what all the fuss was about. A simple motion in parliament to let the people have their say on The European Empire. So scared of the potential result David Cameron has ordered a 3 line party whip which orders Tory MP's to vote with the government. Word in the corridors of Westminster is that many Tories are unhappy with this dictatorial form of leadership and could spell the end of Cameron's reign or the mass defection of Tories. The vote is on Monday 24th October.
A three-line whip is a strict instruction to attend and vote, breach of which would normally have serious consequences. Permission not to attend may be given by the whip, but a serious reason is needed. Breach of a three-line whip can lead to expulsion from the parliamentary political group in extreme circumstances and may lead to expulsion from the party. Consequently, three-line whips are generally only issued on key issues, such as votes of confidence and supply. The nature of three-line whips and the potential punishments for revolt vary dramatically among parties and legislatures.

Mick, there are many of us who could not make the event in the midlands, will any of your people there be producing a run down of what occurred for those of us sans cash? Please.
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint but the midlands meeting has nothing to do with me or our party. I do understand that a decision was made to carry on in the BNP hoping that soon Nick Griffin will be expelled!
ReplyDeleteThose people who are looking for a new nationalist party that does not have racist overtones should consider the Freedom Democrats.
