A few is an awfull lot though. Thats why first past the post is so good at providing stable government. Take a look at the Iraq war vote, a huge number of Labour MP's voted against it, but it didn't matter at all because the government had such a large majority, though perhaps that example dosn't quite reflect my point because the Tories voted for the war too...
