Re: The Tories
If you look at our MP's Twitter bio....'whip since 2010'.....worn like a badge of honour.
What a whip actually does is enforce other MP's to vote the way the party wants..OR ELSE!!!!
Or else..you won't progress, no cabinet positions, be sent to coventry, won't get selected at the next election, or other career smashing threats.
For four years, Graham Jones has been coercing freely elected representatives to vote the way Ed Milliband wants them to and this is all perfectly legal under our parliamentary system. In fact he and other whips (of all parties) actively boast about how few rebel votes slip through their spider like mandibles.
Now if you told your colleagues/employees 'vote monster raving loony party or I'll destroy your career..you'd be arrested.
The system actively encourages vote fixing, this is not democracy its feudalism, and it's one of the myriad reasons why 60-80% of people at every single ballot box do not give them a mandate to govern. The people speak at every election by refusing to vote on an undemocratic outcome, the system ignores them.
