Futile exercise, knowing they cannot do this against a steam-roller majority. They should wait till the right time comes?

Guys..it's not about winning all the time. You need things to be on the Hanzard for recording purposes. Once there is something like this, there is a debate in the parliament and thats an opportunity to for them to raise few matters and speak on behalf of the general public about the matter. Those are some of the best practices in the parliament. It's obvious that Opposition going to lose it but the real value is, as a result of this the facts and reasons for the No-Conf is publicized to the general public. That must be the whole point behind this.

Defeating a motion in the current paliament is obvious because all henchmen have to raise their hands and tails. It does not mean that the issues raised are not valid.

Dear our guys, Those who put comments in favor of government winning should understand one point. Most corrupted people have crossed over to government. Most of them wanted to misuse public funds for their personal gains. So as long as we hail strengthening the government and weakening opposition we dig our own grave. They will approve whatever acts which harmful to general public.
