On Thursday 9 September 2010 MPs voted in the parliament for the first time on the war in Afghanistan. Only 310 MPs, less than half the total in parliament, bothered to turn up to vote, of which only 16 called for the troops to come home now, as opinion polls show more than 70 per cent of the British public wants. Was your MP one of the 16? Did your MP vote?
Any MP not in either of the lists below, did not vote on one of the most important issues any parliament faces: whether to wage war against another country.
