If bullying in the work place is so bad, why is it so common in the House of Parliament?

Question

I refer to the party whip system, which sees many weak and gutless politicians vote against their own conscience and the wishes of the electorate.

Answer 1

I think you answered your own question. Those MP's who succumb to the whip are gutless. If they lose their seats they maybe unemployable!

Answer 2

A work place is where people work. The house of parliment contains niether workers nor people.

Answer 3

Because if they disagree, they'll probably get fired. You forgot to mention bribery in the House of Commons too.

Answer 4

There is no real bullying in the House of Commons they are all just acting a part. I would have to admit that most of them are gutless windbags however. Mendacity is also part of their 'stock in trade'.

Answer 5

No.

Don't think so.

Without any solution in sight.
