Some did, some didn't, some abstained because they thought both the Tory and labour ideas were shit.
Labour's counter motion was some weak-ass-shit and did nothing to address the bigger issues in the private rented sector.
Paying the same to house one person in a three bed house as five people in a one bed flat doesnt make sense and needed addressing, it was done badly, obvs, but even a fifth of labour MPs abstained rather than voting against including Diane Abbott, Chuka Umunna and Gordon Brown. Maybe even Ed Balls.
Again, I suspect by the fact you're using the term bedroom tax you're just reading the headlines and labour leaflets. Have a read of Andrew George's affordable homes bill. That's what the lib dems wanted and it's good.
Coalitions demand unfortunate compromise and it makes me sad to think about them too.
