The complicit media will talk about how those who voted no for proscribing a neo nazi group as a terrorist group instead of saying they voted no to putting palestine action as a terrorist group
No one cares now, but they would be made to care after being blasted with “Parliament votes against considering neo Nazi groups terrorists” headlines 24/7. That was the stick here. I’d still have liked them to take a stand, but this was a pretty coercive tactic.

Not particularly. They could have amended the bill to exclude the one group. Maybe the tabs would try it.
Some politicians tried and the government refused
Unfortunatly mainstream media still have lot of influence on general public intention
