"Their votes are all they have."

Just because you say it doesn't make it true. Why debate at all? Why vote at all?

"But if we know for certain that the vote is going to pass"

We don't know anything for certain, but expect MPs to show up for work. Is it impossible to convince NDP MPs to switch sides? Probably not, but I sure as hell expect them to try.

"They're not going to change the outcome one way or another."

Yes the party that you would follow under every circumstance, no matter what, has chosen to not attempt to alter the outcome by doing the very thing they were hired to do.

"WTF else do you want them to do?"

I WANT THEM TO CHALLENGE THE GOVERNMENT IN PARLIAMENT RIGHT NOW!

WHY ARE THEY NOT ON ZOOM RIGHT NOW?
