      Only 190 showed up to vote, out of 300. Keep in mind the military had declared the parliament session illegal and soldiers were ordered to arrest anyone participating. IIRC only 18 or so of the 190 who showed up to vote were from the conservative party.

        That’s some pretty damning context. A coup avoided “unanimously” because 110 of the most powerful people in the country were bootlicking cowards at best.

          Martial law was declared at 11pm and thr vote was passed at 1am. With the military blockading the parliament and a relatively short time frame when some may be asleep, I think many of those 110 can be given some slack.

          Now, some of them may have voted against had they shown up, but I don’t think it’s fair to paint all of them as cowards.

    I don’t know how the south Lakers work, but I hear the north Lakers let the son take over.
