If a government resorts to coercion to win a vote it cannot claim to have the confidence of the Commons. The reports suggest a serious threat to democracy occurred with MPs not being allowed to vote with their own free will but were threatened, intimidated and possibly assaulted.

@SCynic1 Would such a conviction have any impact on one’s ability to enter certain countries, say America for example? Would your answer be any different if the individual held a Green Card?

@MichaelGillett Energy. If they’re kicked out of SWIFT they cant be paid for the oil/gas they provide. The consequences will be wide and unpredictable. It seems the EU resistance is to plan for that and delay rather than to not do it entirely.
