I'm a dumb American who doesn't understand the complex minutiae of your parliament. That said, how can the government just decline to count the votes against an amendment and call it a win? Like I thought the government over here was pretty broken, but that just sounds crazypants. I get that it's a completely pointless amendment that won't do anything, but still. Is there some kind of protection in place to keep someone from pulling that same trick on a more important vote?

Peston is such a poo poo interviewer. Johnson shouts that he "can only SPECULATE" why Labour don't want an election (it's because they're cowards, obvs) and Peston says nothing. No follow up question, despite Labour being incredibly loving clear why they don't want an election.

It's the same principle as a voice vote (which I know your legislature does). No tellers bothering to turn up for one side means nobody cares enough for that side so there's no point in the vote and it goes automatically to the other side.

I'm just spitballing here, but I think the idea is that since the Government generally controls what gets voted on and is supposed to have a majority then usually only Government bills end up passing. Given this the Government would naturally fight any amendments to its own bills and hence it wouldn't pull poo poo like this. But who the hell knows if there's any actual logic behind this or if it's just more Parliamentary Calvinball.

Which to my understanding means that the tories actually have control over whether something is counted or not. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if so, that sounds like a ridiculously huge loophole, and also a pretty terrible precedent to set if a GE is being delayed, leaving the tories nominally in control of the government. Couldn't they just keep doing this?

Couldn't they just keep doing this? No, the Government supplies one set of tellers, the Opposition the other. I mean technically any four randos could do it but as almost all House business is Government vs. Opposition this is the way it usually shakes out. This was an Opposition amendment so the Government were supposed to provide tellers for the No lobby but didn't, so the Opposition amendment passed on the nod. Besides if they'd discovered One Weird Trick to win all divisions do you not think they'd have deployed it at some other point over the last 36 hours instead of to get May's deal dragged out of it's grave for one more ceremonial kicking?
