Yipchaa!
Because to a lot of people a party leader telling everyone else how to vote is the standard, and anything else is seen as weakness and 'a climb down'.

e2a: oh, and I notice 'The War on Islamic State' already has a logo
They had one for the "Paris Massacre" too
I don't feel sorry for Corbyn, he is much stronger than he was before and seems to be coping well with the press assault on him that has been encouraged by the Blairite faction linking up to news hungry journalists. Go Jeremy!

As we are already bombing ISIS in Iraq, that headline makes no sense whatsoever

And lets face it, if he had of insisted on forcing the no vote, the headline would of been "Corbyn puts UK at risk of terrorist attack". It's all just too fucking ridiculous at the moment.

So many particulars. So many questions.
or something along the lines of what a stalinist he is for making it a whipped vote.....despite the fact that thats standards

the standard is collective (shadow) cabinet decision, so if he'd of sacked over half the shadow cabinet to get his view in the majority, would have been a bit Stalinist

How on earth do you think the shadow cabinet reaches its decisions? It's a meeting not a vote.

stalinist is when he sends half the shadow cabinet to the gulag

I'd have thought sacking people was more Sugarist than Stalinist?

When you say decision you mean responsibility.

On paper its a standard Shadow Cabinet duty to endorse whipping or not, with politics being what it is I'm pretty sure it was past leaders discretion in reality.
The dream.

the beginning of the dream. We cannot rest until Stella Creasy and Simon Dnzuc are forced to mine salt 10 hours a day, 6 days a week.

Sorry if I have totally misread this, but are the Guardian really claiming that there will be between 171 and 200 Labour rebels tomorrow (when the supporting text says it will be at most 115)?

back on the other side
Sounds like it will be around 75% of Labour's 231
I think they have the labour numbers the wrong way round.
Because he's clearly a sitting duck. Dead man walking. Principled, but isolated.

Theres at least one good reason why Scotland reained part of the UK The SNP's 54 MPs in Westminster are to vote against bombing Isis in Syria
Sadly, I suspect this will happen and see the propaganda shit has started, stuff like showing how the police react to a terrorist attack and how likely a terrorist attack is. Before we do start bombing Syria, will we be told what result we are looking for and whether or not we have achieved it?
