MPs are on the verge of backing a historic parliamentary vote that would call on the British government to unilaterally recognise the state of Palestine. Politicians on both sides of the deeply divisive issue believe that the motion will be passed after Ed Miliband instructed his MPs to back it.

The resolution, due to be debated on Monday, also has the support of most Liberal Democrat MPs and a number of Tory backbenchers who have so far been given a free vote on the issue. Government ministers are expected to abstain.

Map's a bit out of date since Sweden officially recognise the State of Palestine, but interesting none the less.
I wonder how this vote will turn out.

That's rather unexpected.

I'm not at all surprised; I can also almost guarantee that the vote will yield a 'yes'.

They haven't recognised them yet, just stated their intent to do it

[draugur]

Please do.

Here in the UK there's pretty major support for the peeps in Palestine so I'd be pretty surprised if we wouldn't recognise their legitimacy.
