I'm the dehumanizing master, you better start your talking 'cos I get what I go after

So, last night a controversial bill passed its third reading. This isn't obvious: even the BBC carries only a mashed-over story covering people's comment on what would happen if the bill were passed, with a sentence buried a couple of paragraphs in mentioning that it was passed last night by a majority of 142. Is there a rule about not reporting such stories until the Queen's corgi has formally licked it or something ?

As far as I can tell, via a friendly Guardian blog, the only people who showed up to the actual debate part were those who were against and Stephen Timms, the fantastically-titled Minister for Digital Britain; everyone else just trundled in at the end to vote with the Whips.

Can anyone tell me how to deduce which way my MP voted ? Public Whip doesn't seem to be having April yet.

It seems I've been maligning (http://venta.livejournal.com/330404.html?thread=4824996#t4824996) my MP.

Surely it is next to impossible to malign a politician - at least in commenting on their politics, (complete absence of) credibility or (poor) value for taxpayers' money...
