How stupid, why shouldn't MPs be able to vote remotely? If they don't have to keep going backward and forward, they can focus more on their constituencies.
Unrelated but the BAME issue, has it been found if it's a genetic or societal thing putting them more at risk? Are they more likely to die if they have it, or more likely to catch it? |
I don’t understand how they can do their job properly if they are blocked from voting due to shielding ...it’s discrimination ....get the rest of them back though
|
Tories? Discriminating? Doesn’t sound familiar to me
|
This has been resolved now as the shielding and those who cannot return can vote via proxy
The rumblings about having to queue up to vote were shot down by Boris saying everyone else is getting back to work and has to queue for shopping etc so MPs should do so as well :clap1: |
The PM has said they can Vote
by Proxy Update your Title please |

The queue looks silly, wastes time (we are literally paying MPs to stand around waiting- I'd rather see them spend the hour on something more productive tbh), isn't safe (there were many images yesterday of MPs not keeping 2m apart). Not to mention it's completely unnecessary! Even if you want people back to work why not let them stay in the chamber/their offices and vote online?! |
I'm in two minds to be fair. On the one hand, I think in the modern world going forward, there's going to be a LOT more remote business and politics and it's something we should get used to (like the Jedi Council where they don't have to physically be there and can appear as holograms, I suppose).
On the other hand, I don't think we're QUITE there yet in terms of tech security, and I think governments are currently very vulnerable to technological espionage and manipulation. It's the same reason I wouldn't advocate for tech-based voting systems/vote counting just yet, even though manual vote counting obviously has its own issues. |

I really don't understand why there are queues to vote when they're there in person, though?
How hard would it be for them to have a LOCALISED (a closed system, not net connected so not prone to tampering) voting system with little terminals at each seat? Quick, instant, efficient voting. |

I think there is something in making MPs attend the parliament to vote.
For one thing it means they can take part in live debates. Those that are shielding can get proxy votes. |

Can you update the title? As the PM has ruled they can vote, now. |
