i don't understand Labour's three line whip - I thought the point of those things was to make sure a vote went a certain way. but the vote was always going to go towards Article 50 because MPs would mostly likely vote with their constituents, and by constituency the vote was more towards Leave than Remain. so why not simply allow MPs a free vote, allowing those who represented strong Remain views, and themselves held Remain views, to vote that way. the end result would be the same, people would be a heck of a lot pissed off about it, and there would be less stupid attention on the disintegration of the shadow cabinet. again.
(I actually meant it as a "I don't understand, what am I missing?" comment but got carried away.)
