Tricky one, no right answer ?
"" If the proposition is contentious, there normally is a vote – as there will be today.
It would not be a vote on legislation (only a vote on the principle of leave to bring in a bill – not the same thing) and the government does normally ignore these votes.
But, given that Keir Starmer has categorically said he does not favour ECHR withdrawal, it is hard to see why Labour MPs should not vote against – other than that it would give Farage a bit of credibility, and establish the precedent that 10-minute rule bills matter, which is not what Labour whips want.""

Confession -- I didn't think of the international optics of a Farage Win !
Not alone, the LP hierarchy didn't either
