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

People have no choice but to queue for the shop as there aren't enough delivery slots to go round. Difference is MPs could all very easily vote online.

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?!

Because you would then get the people who say they will only let their kids back to school/go back to work themselves when all MPs are back in Parliament, I think all that can be there should be there personally

But they could all be there physically and still use electronic voting, rather than wasting precious time standing in a half-mile queue. I just think they're telling us all to adapt, asking employers to make changes to make it safe, but they're not really leading by example.

fair enough, maybe something for the future once the pandemic has passed, westminister is being revamped I think so maybe it is planned
