Parliamentary analysis
Strong conflict: Gov proposesThis vote is most similar to a group of votes where the government is proposing a motion and the opposition is strongly opposing it (few defections, high turnout).
This usually suggests an important point of principle, that even if the government is likely to win, is a significant public signal of opposition.
Motion
Motion type: Other(?)
