Serious question
Why can one MP stop this? Can he not be overruled or the bill put to a vote?

I don’t understand how PMBs work exactly but I seem to recall Chope being one of the MPs that filibustered out the bill that would have mandated minimum standards for rented properties.
Unsurprisingly Mogg was one of the others.

The whole place is ripe for reform but no-one wants to do it
Instead we get brexit

Anything to do with the fact that many MPs are Landlords themselves?
Out of touch and out for themselves. Just so so fucking depressing that so little has really progressed and in fact we are now going backwards

I imagine so.
You know something stinks when MPs mention the register of financial interests before they speak instead of just saying something like “I’m a landlord”. In fairness though, a lot of MPs are landlords because many rent out their constituency homes when they rent in London.

As it's been explained to me
it's a parliamentary all party agreement / procedural thing that if no-one says 'object' then it goes through to the next phase without debate. If someone like Chope chimes in , it must then be debated....
Of course it will go through eventually. Chope just has a reputation for wanting even no-brainers debated as much as possible and he wants a chat about something that will bang people up for a couple of years.
In this instance, this is mainly because he is a cunt.
