I have a problem with the House of Commons floor crossers, as I think most people do.
But I havent been able to come up with a more palatable alternative or at least a different scenario.
The biggest problem, for me, is the act of poaching. The trickle of MPs.
It gives the impression, falsely [โฆ]

There have been a total of 24 #PrimeMinisters in #Canada history, but before Monday night only 13 could claim to have led their party to a #majority of seats in the #HouseOfCommons. #MarkCarney is now the 14th to do it.

The likely result of the third vote remained unclear.
With his newfound control, Carney will have broader latitude with his #legislative agenda, which is focused on reducing Canadaโs dependency on the #US, & give him a stronger footing with which to deal with #Trump, especially on #trade [โฆ]
PM #MarkCarney of #Canada Monday gained a majority in the #HouseOfCommons after special parliamentary #elections, solidifying the #Liberal Partyโs hold on #power.

"MPS 'MAY NOT GET VOTE' ON EU RULES"
@RalphBlackburn for @YorkshirePost
#KeirStarmer will follow #EuropeanUnion rules using #HenryVIII powers, without requiring a #HouseOfCommons / #HouseOfLords vote.
The plans will be unveiled in #TheKingsSpeech.

Canadian MP Leah Gazan used "MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+" on the floor of the House of Commons, and the internet has a lot of opinions. Here's what she actually said and why it matters.

@BashStKid None of the major English parties in the #HouseOfCommons has the courage or honesty to say this. Conservative, Labour, LibDems & ReformUK all support the fantasy that the UK is a serioyx naval power, and can remain one.
None of those 4 parties admits the reality that the UK has long [โฆ]
