The chief whips will be out in force to make sure that their MPs will vote for government. As it's animals who cannot defend themselves, or vote then a lot of MPs will not care
This is good news! I will try emailing my MP again but even when I have been more direct (a yes or no), he often just sends the exact same bog standard email back anyway, but I will try again and be more direct.
This is an extract from a response I got from my MP Richard Foord Lib Dem, it appears to say he will not support this change. I hope he is there in person to make his views known, can they vote if not present?
“We can, and must, support our life sciences sector here in the UK, but we can do that without infringing upon the right to peaceful protest. This is what Liberal Democrats will continue to stand up for, and we will oppose this change to the Public Order Act.”
In my response to asking if Richard Foord will be present next week I got this reply.
“I hope that this makes sense and has answered your questions, I understand how convoluted Parliament can seem sometimes! However, please be assured that Liberal Democrat MPs will be present for the vote next week, and will oppose the changes to the Public Order Act.”

Have sent article to my MP and stated that if we used people who committed heinous crimes then there would be an outcry
So true David!

THEY HAVE TO VOTE IN PERSON OR HAVE ANOTHER MP TO STAND DOWN SO THAT ANOTHER MP CAN VOTE FOR THE ABSENT MP.
