Lord of the Llamas posted:It's worth remember the attacks started before day 1. Also that Jamie Reed is the MP who publicly and loudly resigned from the shadow cabinet during Corbyn's first victory announcement. But does anyone seem to think Jamie Reed's militant opposition to Corbyn hurt Labour's chances in Copeland after he resigned? Not a peep. Are you saying Jamie Reed was so popular he convinced Labour voters locally that Corbyn bad and to stop voting Labour?

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Is there any good reason why filibusters exist? If people don't want to engage in a debate or allow a vote then make them gently caress off out the room. In the UK it's pretty much isolated to private members bills. Programme motions and the guillotine, which has fallen out of practice, kills filibusters for any government bills

People defend talking out private members bills cause very few people bother with them and a handful of mps can push through motions with barely anyone present, so being unable to stop someone chatting with a simple move to closure (which requires 100 MPs present) is meant to shut down motions with bad attendance According to the people that do it anyway

This will probably be one of those times when the selection process is more contentious than the vote
