Didn't he score last week vs Brentford.Gove is as far from personable as Afobe is from his next goal!

Totally agree, there was even a rumpus over a pregnant MP who was supposed to be in hospital having a baby but had to put it off to vote on a land slide victory. Why the hell wasn't she on maternity leave?Listening to the hot air coming out of my radio this morning makes me despair of the British people. What happened to tolerance and a spirit of working together. Apart from football, I know politics has always been the most divisive pastime but the way both sides are going at each other today is just wrong. 52% voted leave. They were not knuckle dragging xenaphobes as some are being depicted. 48% voted remain and their wishes should also be considered, not dismissed as ‘you lost, get over it’
Unfortunately we don’t seem to have a unifying figure who could get a deal that would satisfy everybody. They wasted 3 weeks before Christmas debating a vote that never happened. They’ve wasted another week debating a vote everybody knew was lost. Now they’re going to waste another day debating a motion that Labour themselves don’t expect to win and we pay these wastes of space how much ?

I didn't see her today though.

I tend to agree with the sentiment of your post but not so sure about the 48%.
Only twice since 1935 have more than 50% of people voted for the party that formed government and far far fewer than that voted for their MP with a lower turnout than at the referendum.
It is the greatest mandate the public has given parliament in my lifetime and potentially in the history of UK democracy.
After a general election, nobody gives a toss about the 80%(my inaccurate estimate) of people who didn't vote for their MP. I'm a little bitter that I don't think I've ever had my candidate win in Europe or UK elections and nobody has pandered.
Gove as a good leader on the basis of a good speech !!!
Personality politics at its finest.

On paper, an MP can take maternity leave, regardless of whatever constitutional crisis is unfolding, thanks to “pairing”, where a counterpart will be found to cancel out your absence by not voting themselves. It is known as a “gentleman’s agreement”There is no maternity leave for MPs.

In a General Election the Opposition parties are there to look after the 80% and to represent their views in Parliament. With this stupid referendum unfortunately the devil takes the hind most and that in my book is not democracy. I’m in a similar situation having been born and brought up in Bournemouth where anybody remotely left of centre seems totally disenfranchised.
As you say, ‘on paper’, but the person who went in to vote whilst heavily pregnant for the meaningful vote this week did so because they had no faith in the pairing system due to this previous failure/mistake:

But May lost by the biggest margin ever and everybody knew it was a washout beforehand. She had another agenda, with more and more women becoming MPs she wants the rules changed.

The snp anti austerity policies align closer with labour so likely to vote the same way.
The dup anti 20th century policies align closer to rees mogg european research group and so more likely to vote the same way.
