It's nice to see that the two Bristol MPs I know voted in favour of human rights.

Shocking that so few voted this way. Blanket bans on 'democratic' things like this are generally quite scary.

Nice to see the majority of labour MP's practicing for the time they go into coalition with the Tories, I doubt we'd notice the difference really or that labour had even joined the Conservatives.
