DEBill Votes 
April 8, 2010 at 6:51 am
Glad my MP David Liddington isn’t on the list… He’d have known my displeasure if he had been !
April 8, 2010 at 7:19 am
lol, did he turn out? that would anoy me more than a yes vote
April 8, 2010 at 7:11 am
what a list of cunts
April 8, 2010 at 7:57 am
Very disappointed to see my MP’s name on that list, my vote will now be going elsewhere.
April 8, 2010 at 9:33 am
Fucking likewise.
April 8, 2010 at 11:29 am
Yes, I’m very disappointed to see my MP on here as well. I will write him another letter informing him that I will be voting for someone else based on this decision.

Will this be updated to show the relevant party split like the No vote page?
April 8, 2010 at 9:15 am
It’s in the works. Manual labour and lack of sleep are causing the slowdown 😉
April 8, 2010 at 9:27 am
It’s not there yet, but it presumably will be soon, http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/divisions.php will automatically show you the divisions from yesterday, split by party, who voted how precisely, etc. – to save you having to do any more manual labour and let you get some sleep 🙂
April 8, 2010 at 10:02 am
Not shocked Gillian Merron is there, she will vote for anything her cronies are going for if it helps her be in with the crowd.

Emily Thornberry is my MP. I wrote to her requesting that she vote against the DE bill. She neither responded to my letter or turned up on the night. I’ve cycled from Islington to Westminster within 20 minutes so I don’t think she can claim that she couldn’t get there from her constituency.
I watched the proceedings on TV. Funny, I have never watched parliament before. The whole thing was completely cynical. Very few in the chamber to debate it, but the whips went round and suddenly there are 150 odd voting for it. They must think we are stupid, but they are the stupid ones for thinking that.
My MP is defending a majority of 484 in Islington South and Finsbury. As of this morning I met with her closest rival, Bridget Fox of the Lib Dems and now Ms Thornberry has a 482 majority. I think it’s time for Ms Thornberry to dust the wig off and go back to practicing law.
Incidentally Ms Fox was very vocal in her opposition to the bill and had something (she doesn’t claim full credit) to do with the stand that the Lib Dems took against it in the chamber. If you are annoyed in Islington why not show it by showing Ms Thornberry how to vote, something she has seemingly forgotten.
April 10, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Make that a 481 majority. I’m voting (for the first time in the UK) for Bridget Fox mainly because of this issue. It’s so important for freedom, privacy and innovation that it beats all other issues for me.

Pie charts of how the 3 main parties voted (or didn’t).

While Stephen Williams name isn’t on this list, the fact that it also isn’t on the no list is bitterly disappointing as it means that he was one of the many MPs who didn’t bother to even turn up.

@kennyevil All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

@Myatu
You’ve done an amazing amount of work on these breakdowns. Bravo.
I realize that almost everyone reading these articles etc. is opposed to DEBill.
It’s great to deploy your own votes, but a key problem is that most people do not understand what this means. They think this is a law and order thing that will get rid of nasty pirates.
They don’t know that DEBill is the tossing out democratic legal protections like innocent until proven guilty and introducing Punishment based on unsubstantiated allegations.
Try to explain this to people who don’t understand the tech issues. Your government believes that the tech people are a tiny minority, and that they can afford to dismiss your valid concerns.
Good luck!

I heard a comment somewhere that was claiming the law, because of the issues discussed above, is against the magna carta and other basic rights; hence ought to be able to be thrown out as an unfair law. Think it was the “Vote now” podcast from the radio 4 show a couple of weeks ago. I wholeheartedly agree, even if that isn’t quite the level of action that can be taken against it.
None the less, after those pie charts and everything else I’ve not yet seen anything to persuade me to vote any differently than I did in the last election; as I’ve moved since then, my constituency’s L.D. candidate will appreciate the vote even more now as its a close fight between them and Labour (Lambeth)
