Theresa May slams Boris Johnson’s Government over Tory sleaze scandal

Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Theresa May slams Boris Johnson’s Government over Tory sleaze scandal” – below is their description.

Speaker Lindsay Hoyle announced that a motion approving the standards report into the former minister had been passed without a formal division. It was the third time the findings had come before the House, with Boris Johnson having caused a meltdown with an abortive attempt to save his ally from punishment a fortnight ago. The second effort was derailed late last night when veteran Tory Christopher Chope shouted ‘object’, forcing the government to bring a debate and vote today. Despite a furious backlash from colleagues who branded him a ‘selfish tw**’, Sir Christopher insisted this afternoon that he had ‘no regrets’ about stopping the measure going through ‘on the nod’. Opening the hour-long debate, Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg humbly admitted he had made a ‘mistake’ in pushing the retrospective overhaul of the standards system. Former PM Theresa May also waded in by condemning the government’s behaviour as ‘ill-judged and just plain wrong’.

In This Story: Vote

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.
