Digital Economy Bill: From BBC Democracy Live

Ministers have been accused of a "stitch-up" to pass laws cracking down on digital piracy before the election.

MPs voiced anger at attempts to rush through the digital economy bill aimed at supporting artists' copyright and tackle illegal file-sharing.

Former minister Tom Watson said it would be a "catastrophic disaster" if the bill went through as constituted.

However, the bill was approved by MPs by a majority of 142 votes and will now pass to the Lords for final approval by the Prince of Darkness himself
How did they manage that when there were only 14 of them acually present during the debate - Ah yes - silly me - the old 3 line whip.... democracy in action yet again
