"In July 2012 91 Conservative MPs voted against Lords reform, defying
a three-line whip and kiboshing Nick CleggÂ’s dream of reform to the
upper chamber."

a Commons vote after a rebellion of 31 Tory backbenchers and
opposition from the Labour Party."
"On 31 October 2012 Mark Reckless, the Conservative MP who has since
defected to Ukip was credited with masterminding the coalitionÂ’s first
Commons defeat leading 53 Tory rebels to join with Labour to back a
motion demanding a real terms cut in the European Union budget."
"The Prime Minister suffered one of his biggest rebellions over gay
marriage with 134 of his MPs voting against in May last year."
"In October 2011 a total 79 of his MPs voted for a Commons motion
calling for a referendum on BritainÂ’s relationship with the EU, even
though Mr Cameron had ordered his party to oppose it."
"In February 2014 the Prime Minister was faced with a 86-strong
rebellion on an amendment to the Immigration Bill."
