What I would like to know is why are the Conservative party so worried about the vote on Syria that they need to be ringing Labour MPs to try to persuade them to vote for it.

This Conservative party did get an overall majority in May, it has a 12 overall majority,increased to 16 since Sinn Fein do not take their seats at Westminster,,increased again to 17 since Labour have the Oldham seat vacant at present.
Then they are getting the votes of the DUP, which will bring the majority to 33 at least.
Since UKIPs Carswell will surely support them too.

How many of their own number are they terrified that will not vote for this to be so worried about not winning the vote,they should walk it if the Conservative MPs are to be forced to support same.
Never mind Labour divisions on this, it seems the Conservatives feel sure that without Labour support they will possibly lose the vote when it comes due to their own MPs dissent.
