I guess this might be a stupid question, but when a vote fails like this, does that mean the government has to resign or elections are called?
It is quite common for governments to lose votes, but it doesn’t mean the government is to fall, normally if they fail to get parts of their election manifesto through parliament it can result in the government falling, but no always so.
Make no mistake, this is a huge embarrassment that will be remembered for a very long time over here.
