MP's calling for proxy vote ?

Uk MP's are calling for the right to vote on legislation by proxy, ie an email, txt, phone call etc. It comes after the recent Brexit vote. Where a labour MP was wheeled in to the voting lobby in a wheelchair, she had been ran over a few weeks ago and had discharged herself from hospital. Another MP was due to give birth any moment. I do have sympathys with these people but dosnt the fact that you have to vote in person mean that they have listened to the debate both for and against and made a decision based on that ? If MP's could proxy vote why bother turning up at westminister at all ? they could just sit at home in their undies watching Erotic asphyxiation vids, and go on countless foreign junkys.

They have some kind of buddy system in place for all votes apart from a 3 line whip ... i.e. A Tory will be paired with a labour and if one can't make it then the other one doesn't either .... as for a three line whip they should be towing the party line so being there for the actual debate is pretty irrelevant and they should be able to vote by email * +

No, MPs are here to serve the public, we vote them in so are infact their employers and employees are expected to go to work when required. * +
