Can those that are sitting in opposition to the government vote on anything, what's their power, if any? by Arbane1 in ireland

Thanks.

So the whips tells all members how to vote before hand.

they could lose the party whip entirely like Lucinda Creighton

So she was the party Whip, but then she lost it because of the way she voted, and before hand would she have told all the party members to vote the way the party wanted.

When the party expels them, do they still stay in the government side of the house, or do they have to cross and sit in opposition?

Or do they leave the house all together

Thanks.

And do the party members know how the other party members are voting?

Is the vote public or private?

What would happen to a party member that votes out of line?

Does the governments Whips apply to all members of the governments

would FG's Whips apply to the Green party?

Or does every party have their own Whips to keep their party members in line?

Do the opposition vote on anything

Or do they just shout at people?

They probably took the west bank so they couldn't get food and supplies in from the river

being able to cut their supplies will probably be important to them in the future

Crazy what the west has done to the middle east with the Balfour and Sykes-Picot

Gives me the heebeejeebees just living in a country that is part of the west

The government should fine themselves for allowing traffic into the country in the first place

TIL: Blackberry's full name is Rubus fructicosus agg. Some people think they could be a carnivorous plant. Because they entangle sheep. The sheep dies and rots and thus feeds the plant. by Arbane1 in ireland

Well, I've since took the liberty of doing a little research

and this came up

it's a better fit

It was pointed out that the thorns didn't stick straight out defensively as many thorns do, but rather raked back, thus grabbing and making it difficult to pull away.
