  • This is disgusting...

    The context is that the top one is MPs debating the effect of a bill which has already been passed, and which there is no way the current government is going to repeal. So arguably what's the point of debating it, even if you're utterly opposed to it. Better to concentrate your efforts on getting the Tories out at the next election so Labour or a Lib/Lab coalition can get in, then turn up to a debate on it when the opportunity for change is actually on the table.

    The bottom picture was a debate on something which is a free vote and was very much up for grabs at the time. Part of the reason it was so controversial was that a lot of MPs thought the last thing they should be getting in the current climate of austerity was a pay rise.

    It does still make a valid point but it's pretty simplistic.
