Coming up – MPs to vote on amendments to Rishi Sunak’s flagship Rwanda Bill

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Coming up – MPs to vote on amendments to Rishi Sunak’s flagship Rwanda Bill” – below is their description.

MPs will debate Rishi Sunak’s flagship Rwanda Bill in Parliament before voting on amendments on Tuesday.

The Conservative Party will have “no route to victory” at the next general election if the bill fails, Robert Jenrick has suggested.

The former immigration minister said he believed the Tory Party had “lost its way on migration” – both legal and illegal – as he stressed the need for more action.

He made the comments ahead of the Bill returning to the House of Commons as Mr Sunak faces a showdown with rebel Tory MPs who want to strengthen his legislation.

Asked if he believed Mr Sunak could be trusted on immigration, Mr Jenrick told GB News: “I hope he can. I do think that the Conservative Party has lost its way on migration generally and in particular on legal migration because it’s shown such a disinterest in this issue in recent months and years.

“I want to change that, that’s one of the reasons I left government so that I can make the argument for taking action because our voters care passionately about it.

“There’s no route to victory at the next general election or a Conservative majority without showing action on this and people don’t want to hear talk, they want to see action.”

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
