The problem is that all MPs are hardly ever in Parliament except for PMQs so there were only about 120 votes total. Tossers, the lot of them.
I'm not disagreeing with any point here - just pointing out that to shunt responsibility onto the government for a procedural/arse-covering amendment proposed by the opposition and supported by the majority of turnout for both parties (78+1/9 and 18+1/5) is a little unreasonable.
