> Interesting to see the number '7' was used ignoring the abstentions. And this is always the problem with all your arguments Hymie, you cherry pick and fail to see the full picture.
A bit like the Brexit vote, where 52% of those that voted voted Leave, but that was only about 37% of the eligible voters.
Anyway, if you want the full details, here we go:
650 MPs
361 voted
354 votes for
7 votes against
225 non-votes (abstentions or did not turn up to vote)
64 others (I don't know what they are!)
So as percentages:
650 MPs (100% of MPs)
361 voted (55% of MPs, 100% of voters)
354 votes for (54% of MPs, 98% of voters)
7 votes against (1% of MPs, 2% of voters)
225 non-votes (35% of MPs)
64 others (10% of MPs)
The important thing is that 54% of all MPs, and 98% of Voters, voted For - a crushing defeat for Boris.
