What really happens when MPs vote with their conscience?

As the House of Commons agonizes over legalizing assisted dying, host Sascha O'Sullivan looks back at previous votes of conscience to find out what happens when MPs don't have the party whip guiding them. Alun Michael, one of the architects of Tony Blair's ban on fox hunting, explains how it took years to get to the point of a vote in parliament, and how his personal safety — and that of his family — was put in jeopardy. Former Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone recalls the same sex marriage vote and the internal politics between the Lib Dems and Conservatives during the coalition government — leading to David Cameron "stealing" the announcement from her. John Bercow, former Commons speaker, tells Sascha about moments in the Commons chamber when MPs went against the party grain during votes of conscience. Ex-Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries describes how, as a backbencher in 2008, she led one of the biggest challenges to the 1967 Abortion Act. And Sascha also looks at decisions over war and peace, when MPs must wrestle with a profoundly moral choice and make one of the weightiest calls possible for a parliament, as former Defense Secretary Grant Shapps says the decision not to intervene in Syria in 2013 contributed to the global instability we all now face.

Forsætisráðherra segir að fara þurfi yfir allt regluverk til að koma í veg fyrir misskilning sem varð í máli albanskrar konu sem var send þunguð úr landi í fyrrinótt. Forstjóri Heilsugæslu höfuðborgarsvæðisins segir að heilsugæslulæknir hafi gefið út vottorð nokkrum dögum eftir að hann hitti albönsku konuna. Hann geti ekki fullyrt hvort ástand hennar hafi breyst í millitíðinni. Seðlabankastjóri segir eðlilegt að forsætisráðherra hafi tilkynnt lögreglu um meintan upplýsingaleka vegna húsleitar hjá Samherja. John Bercow, fyrrverandi forseti neðri málstofu breska þingsins, segir útgöngu Breta úr Evrópusambandinu mestu mistök þeirra frá lokum seinni heimstyrjaldarinnar. Kosningabaráttan er brostin á í Bretlandi. Hjúkrunarfræðingur Frú Ragnheiðar segir að með opnun neyslurýmis fyrir sprautufíkla yrði stigið risastórt skref í skaðaminnkun. Fyrir Alþingi liggur nú frumvarp um að sveitarfélögum verði heimilt að koma upp rýmum fyrir þá sem sprauta sig með fíkniefnum. Arnar Páll Hauksson talar við Elísabetu Brynjarsdóttur. Kosningabaráttan í Bretlandi er rétt að byrja og það liggur þegar í loftinu að hún verði einkar hörð og Brexit-áhrifin óútreiknanleg. Íhaldsflokkurinn þarf að verja um tíu prósenta forskot, Verkamannaflokkurinn að sýna samtakamátt og trú á flokksleiðtogann og minni flokkarnir að sanna fyrir kjósendum að atkvæði á þá sé ekki kastað á glæ í einmenningskjördæmakerfinu. Sigrún Davíðsdóttir segir frá.

Í fimmta þætti Heimskviðna er fjallað um borgarstjórnarkosningar í Rússlandi, sem alla jafna rata ekki í heimsfréttirnar. Á því varð þó breyting í vikunni. Grasrótarhreyfingum hefur vaxið fiskur um hrygg og þrátt fyrir að margir fulltrúar hafi ekki fengið að bjóða fram í borgarstjórnarkosningum í Moskvu um síðustu helgi þá tókst stjórnarandstæðingum ætlunarverk sitt; að fækka fulltrúum flokksins Sameinaðs Rússlands, flokks Pútíns forseta.

Dagný Hulda Erlendsdóttir fjallar um pólitíska landslagið í Rússlandi í aðdraganda og kjölfar kosninganna, og ræðir við Jón Ólafsson prófessor, sem hefur búið í Rússlandi og fylgist vel með þróun mála þar í landi.

Umsjón: Stígur Helgason Tæknimaður: Ragnar Gunnarsson Dómsmálaráðherra fagnar því að yfirdeild Mannréttindadómstóls Evrópu hafi ákveðið að taka Landsréttarmálið til umfjöllunar. Þó sé viðbúið að bíða þurfi niðurstöðu í ár eða lengur. Stjórn Lögreglufélags Reykjavíkur telur að ríkislögreglustjóri eigi að stíga til hliðar á meðan úttekt á embættinu fer fram. Atkvæðagreiðsla á breska þinginu um hvort boða eigi til þingkosninga í næsta mánuði, dregst fram á kvöld. John Bercow, forseti neðri deildar breska þingsins ætlar að hætta í embætti, hvort sem kosið verður eða ekki. Útgerðarfélag Reykjavíkur hefur keypt tæplega ellefu prósenta hlut í Brimi fyrir átta milljarða. Deila er risin um það hvar grafa skuli Robert Mugabe, fyrrverandi forseta Simbabve. Um það eru fjölskylda hans og stjórnvöld ósammála. Í Speglinum var rætt við Berglindi Svavarsdóttur, formann Lögmannafélags Íslands, um ákvörðun yfirdeildar Mannréttindadómstólsins að taka Landsréttarmálið til umfjöllunar. Fyrir tveimur mánuðum, þegar Boris Johnson tók við sem forsætisráðherra Breta bauð írski forsætisráðherrann Leo Varadkar honum strax í heimsókn til að ræða útgöngu Breta úr Evrópusambandinu. Það var fyrst í morgun að Johnson gaf sér tíma til fundar í Dyflinni. Sem fyrr er allt óklárt heima fyrir: Johnson slær úr og í um útgöngusamning og hefur ekki lengur tök á framvindunni því hann hefur ekki meirihluta í þinginu. Hann getur því ekki efnt til kosninga í bráð og þingið gæti neytt hann til að fresta áætlaðri útgöngu úr ESB 31. október. Anna Kristín Jónsdóttir talaði við Sigrúnu Davíðsdóttur, sem hefur fylgst með framvindunni. Þriðjungi fleiri komu á bráðamóttöku Landspítalans vegna fíkniefnaneyslu síðsumars en gera í venjulegum mánuði. Yfirlæknir bráðalækninga segir aukna kókaínneyslu áberandi og hún sé ekki bundin við neinn einn þjóðfélagshóp. Afleiðingarnar geti verið hjartaáfall. Ráðgjafi á meðferðarheimilinu Hlaðgerðarkoti segir það algera undantekningu að fólk komi í meðferð vegna áfengisneyslu. Hópurinn þar sé yngri en áður og í vanda vegna neyslu á hörðum fíkniefnum.

Has Boris' Brexit plan broken democracy?

There is plenty of constitutional outcry on the front pages of the British papers today, which all lead with Boris Johnson's decision to suspend parliament ahead of the looming Brexit deadline. Front pages from abroad show the international press is transfixed too. There is “Outrage as Johnson suspends parliament” according to the Guading newspaper. The paper leads with John Bercow's comments that the decision was a “constitutional outrage” and the paper's leader says: “Johnson's move represents a grotesque abuse of the country's highest office”. Is the the end of democracy in Britain, or something entirely different?
