The Bill Cash Amendment gains attention

The disgraceful voting by Tory MPs on the last amendment of the day last Wednesday is slowly getting limited media coverage. On an apparently free vote, on which the Conservative front bench team abstained, 380 MPs, all of whom had made an oath of allegience before taking their seats, voted away parliamentary supremacy. Only 48 voted for the amendment their names are listed on my post of 5th March. A letter on the shameful vote was published in The Scotsman, linked here, and the BBC's influential Nick Robinson and now Matthew Parris in The Times have referenced a site where the matter is discussed, www.revolts.co.uk, linked here.
