This is inhumane. My friend @TulipSiddiq should not have to do this.
Democracy is not properly served by this kind of cruelty. Theresa May could show compassion and allow Tulip to be nodded through.

So what's the point here? What's the issue. She is elected as a MP. As a PR stunt it works of course, but the idea postponing an elective c section for 2 days is a big thing is nonsense.

Can you give ONE valid reason why she should have to be there in person to vote?

Rules and sound ones. There are plenty of MP moonlighting elsewhere as it is. That they have to be there in person is essential to keep them focused on the job. A more robust and binding pairing system would be fine.

My opposition to proxy voting is absolute. Pairing system needs reform, nothing more

It's not an elective c section though, it's a medically advised c section due to gestational diabetes, this is why no uterus no opinion.
