Thema: Re: OH....a woman became premier....the first woman to be voted in in her own right.
Bernice: Nahhh.... being a puppet is quite usual. Taking orders from the party is quite usual..... you should check up on the UK system. On certain votes, the parties use what is known as the "whip" to make MP's vote for the policy they want to pass through Parliament. Same to a degree in local government, but at that level there is more chance of independents and alliances.
