ignorant question about UK system, if you please [View all]

Before I ask this question, please know that this is a theoretical question and I do not think Cameron and Tories would do this. As some of you know, I have the greatest respect and affection for the UK.

Theoretical question: Let's say the Tories and Lib Dems joined to sponsor a bill in the House of Commons that would replicate the 1933 Enabling Act made famous in Germany. Let's say, for theoretical purposes, that 100% of that coalition's MP's would vote for it.

What recourse do Labour and the other parties have ? Could they defeat it in the Commons ? Thanks for your time.
