In practice, governments can pass any legislation (within reason) in the Commons they wish, unless there is major dissent by MPs in the governing party.
I apologise for my error, Human Factor, and indeed I have learned something new today. I will tow the line from now on (OK, I won't use "Government" in place of "governing party")
I'm not sure it's thread creep though. If our BASSA "cabinet" are making decisions without providing their reasons to their "governing party", then where is the queen that can dissolve government?
