Talk:Chief Whip

message: The claim that whips use blackmail and extortion is marked with a citation, but the website referenced does not appear to be a competent authority on the issue. I move to remove the source and ask for a new citation for this claim. Cpryby (talk) 06:17, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dubious Citation 

message: This page is incorrect. The information about the Chief Whip is just wrong. There is NO Chief Whip of the House of Commons. Each Party has their own Chief Whip who is responsible for the discipline of their own party. Nick Brown is NOT the Chief Whip of the House of Commons but rather the Chief Whip of the LABOUR PARTY.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.60.231 (talk) 12:38, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Should the sentence : "when in 1990, Thatcher was challenged for the leadership the Chief Whip she could not win in the first round of ballots."
read : 
"when in 1990, Thatcher was challenged for the leadership by the Chief Whip, she could not win in the first round of ballots." ?
As it is written, the sentence looks incomplete dand does not make any sense to me. Amagnien2 (talk) 07:25, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: 'The Whip' means a piece of paper, a timetable, that is sent to Members of Parliament (I think each week) informing them of when the votes in the House are that week, how they should vote, and how important those votes are. A 'three line whip', the most important (and therefore requiring the presence of MPs unless excused) will be physically underlined three times. If an MP has the whip withdrawn, it means they are no longer counted as a member of their party's parliamentary party, and they no longer have the piece of paper sent to them. I suppose if a vote is a matter of conscience, and MPs may vote as they like, that piece of paper will not include that vote (or will include it but with no indication that is important to appear, that is, with no underlining).

thread_title:  Incorrect formulation 

message: I suggest merging this page with the page for Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury to make it more UK relevant. The global references are duplicated from the existing page on whips and should be removed. Atomix330 (talk) 03:01, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
