See this is what I do not understand about British politics....a vote is passed in the house but is not BINDING on ministers!!!!
BBC News - EU budget vote: Rebel MPs defeat government over spending cut call
Unless I'm way off base here, this is saying that a democratic vote in parliament is MEANINGLESS because the government can pretty much ignore it and go ahead with doing what it wants anyway.
If the way I'm reading this is true, just what is the freakin' point of spending an arm and a leg on free elections and 500+ MP's if we end up with a dictatorship?
Genuinely puzzled here
