Whipping into Shape
Each party in the House of Commons and Senate assigns a whip to ensure attendance, voting numbers, and a disciplined caucus. Whips also assign office space on Parliament Hill and determine committee membership.
The 18th-century term comes from fox hunting and the role of "whipper-in" who whipped the hounds to keep them in one pack during the chase.
The role was formalized in the British Parliament in the early 1800s.

Another great interview. I was particularly happy to hear that Bruce intends to "Bop until he Drops". |

Blockhead basher:
Ah, now I see. Definitely dealing with a blockhead. Fear mongering, war mongering, ya that's rational (if your a blockhead). |
