MPs Accuse Speaker of Blocking Gaza Ceasefire Vote, Calls for No Confidence Grow

Calls for no confidence in the Speaker of the House of Commons have arisen after Members of Parliament accused him of preventing a vote on a motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The debate over the ongoing conflict in Gaza has been overshadowed by this controversy, as many MPs express frustration and anger over the perceived obstruction of democracy. The Speaker's actions have led to calls for him to resign or face a vote of no confidence, adding to the political turmoil in the UK.

the UN must be reformed, we are no longer in 1945. The world needs a more credible, fairer and more democratic international institution that operates by CONSENSUS and not by VETO. The United States, England and France must correct the mistakes they have made in history towards Palestine and its people. l'ONU doit être réformer, on n'est plus dans les années 1945.

[@shehannanayakkara4162]

The current UNSC system is a consensus system among the 5 major powers. Consensus means there must be 100% agreement to follow through with an action. For example, in a court case, the jurors must be in consensus, one juror is enough to deliver a non guilty verdict, even if the others vote guilty.

One of the things that really makes me want to puke is that when Starmer FINALLY, MUCH BELATEDLY called for a ceasefire, he did so with such fervour and aplomb - you'd think he'd been doing it from the beginning! There would have been more pressure on the government to call for a ceasefire if only we had a proper opposition party. ☹️

[@riazanwar9288]

The Speaker single handedly blocked the genuine ceasefire vote and allowed the Genocide by the fascists to continue. How and Why, may be debated, the Speaker must go.

[@Jean-rg4sp]

*Lindsay Hoyle broke with tradition by allowing the largest official opposition and pro-Zionist party, Labour, to table a weaker motion on a Gaza "Humanitarian" ceasefire that the Scottish National Party's call for an immediate end to collective punishment. The smaller SNP is allowed only three days for opposition debate motions per parliamentary year. Labour is allowed 17. Wednesday's debate was supposed to be the SNP turn but the Speaker allowed Labour to also table a motion, thereby depriving the SNP of having its day as the proponent. This allowed Labour to vote for their own motion rather that yea or nay or abstention on the SNP motion, thus avoiding opposition among Labour members. This was a disgraceful decision by the Labour MP who is the Speaker of the House and no doubt wants to keep his job when Starmer takes over as prime minister later this year.*

[@coleengoodell7523]

I don't understand his defense of his actions about anyone being killed by terrorists. Who is he talking about. Was he talking about Palestinian terrorists? And if so, is he fearmongering and calling all Palestinians terrorists. I'm confused. Are terrorists running around there threatening people's lives on how they vote on a humanitarian catastrophe that must be stopped? I don't understand his defense as to why he did what he did.

Who to blame is not the right question , the right question is who is the beneficiary in not voting , its seem to be, it has been planned to create chaos instead to the degree no one speaks about the actual subject vote for gaza any more, very cleaver, here lies the crack of the matter. 2nd question is who is under immense pressure, isn't the zionism. the third question is who is accused of possible war crimes and genocide, the answer is for all questions is the world zionism, got it. Now it' the duty of any zionist like the parliament speaker to protect his core belief, so he choosen to override his national loyalty, his parliamentary responsibility, the sacrification of uks democracy to save the zionism. in fact the matter is worst than that, it goes further, it reaches to Betrayal of the homeland if both men the parliament speaker and the Labour leaders planned it, and according to the plan speaker of House executed it to slaughter uk democracy. the Labour leader to ring the zionst regime leader to reassure him and present his total obedience to secure his future as the americsn politicians do, and 3 men agreed to play the show as we have seen. In accordance with the law ,the speaker and Labour leader can be accused as traitor to their country to benefit a foreign country, this is a serious matter, in any case their action to destroy oldest establishment of the oldest democratic system is heinous national deed . The British democracy is on trail if it brushed under the carpet, the British will be in no position to go around the world lecture others of democracy, the choice is for the great people of the great Britain,do they destroy their government and save zionism, or to save their pride and save their democracy.
