Low turnout threatens Commons vote on assisted dying, say MPs

Comments

1. Milacosta: some folks are really relying on turnout now though aren't they? seems like it should be about the issue itself rather than who shows up
2. Nora: I still don't get why the Lords' veto was deemed so "undemocratic" when it's meant to represent a different branch of government. What's changed since last year
3. Luna: what's the threshold for quorum to be deemed legitimate here?
4. Bruno: What's going on if they're worried about turnout now, but the party in power last year just steamrolled it through as usual?
5. Max Larp: it's interesting that low turnout is being cited as the main issue here when it feels like both sides of the debate are equally entrenched
6. Miarossixo: can't believe they're already worrying about turnout, shouldn't be about the numbers, it's about doing what's right for these people
7. Rogue Phantom: most 'undemocratic' thing I've seen is politicians using phrases like that to spin their own failures
