I think what most people who did base their voting position on this issue wee doing so because of the wider implications of the potential motivations behind such a move.

Maybe they could get Joshua from "V" to do it.

The vast majority of the sitting Tory MPs voted against the ban. As there are now a good deal more of them, there was a danger that this would happen.
