Will the British troops have to pull out if the vote is no?

The vote won't be "no." A "no vote" would amount to a vote of "no confidence" for Tony Blair, and the U.K. government would likely collapse.

Since there is NO sign of any of that, you can bank on the fact that Blair knows he's got the votes to spare.

Remember that the British government is NOT like ours. There is no effective "separation of powers."
