In the midst of a complete collapse of unity and discipline, British Prime Minister Liz Truss has vowed to take disciplinary action against MPs who chose to abstain or did not vote with her Conservative party in a fracking vote.
On Wednesday, there was a misunderstanding about whether a vote on fracking constituted a vote of confidence in her administration, which led to outright fighting and shoving among lawmakers.
Reports about the resignation of the government’s chief whip, who oversees parliamentary enforcement, were later refuted.
A government official stated, “The whips will now be speaking to Conservative MPs who failed to support the government.” “Those without a good basis to abstain from voting will face corresponding disciplinary action,” the statement reads.
