As the British parliament voted for air strikes on Syria, I wonder the reason behind the "spat" or whistle-blowing on who voted for and against.
I can understand the unwillingness to enter into war and the willingness of it. But I'm concern with the reasons behind in revealing who voted what in the parliament. After all, shouldn't this be kept secret? Where's the secrecy? What rights does the press have to reveal it?
Neil Coyle, who is on a 'traitor list' of 66 MPs threatened with deselection, has called in Scotland Yard after a troll sent him a sinister message with pictures of knives.

@artemeis I think that we need more transparency because we MUST know what politicians really think and do. I would not like to vote for someone who says something in public and give a completely different vote for important matters. They have nothing to fear, ISIS has other targets than politics.

I hope that the British together with the US will do a better job than the incompetent and controversial Russian. Hope to see that the Russians will be wake up and realize their incompetence and stop messing up.
However, who is to say that they will not continue to mess up and put the blame on the British and US to aggravate the travails of war.
