Members of Parliament are elected to represent their constituents and to vote on the issues that affect everyday lives. When MPs abstain, they choose not to take a position, even when the consequences are higher taxes for families, farmers and local businesses.
Rachel Gilmour MP failed to vote against a parliamentary amendment that would have stopped the Family Farm Tax and stealth tax rises. That decision allowed Labours Finance Bill to progress, putting families, farms, and businesses at risk.
