Who are LibLabCon Parliamentarians really working for? For the interests and aspirations of the UK electorate, or for some other nefarious end?
What is the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU)? Here it is explained:

British Group Inter-Parliamentary Union?
Here their own web site explains:
http://www.bgipu.org/about-us/what-is-ipu/Quote:
The BGIPU aims to serve Britain’s interests through advancing the Parliamentary dimension of Britain’s foreign relations.
In common with other IPU national groups in many countries, the BGIPU consists of members of all parties and the cross-benches. Membership is open to all members of the House of Commons and House of Lords, there are currently over 600 Members of the Group.
The priority for the BGIPU’s parliamentary diplomacy effort is to promote and consolidate Britain’s interests abroad and engage Parliamentarians in key global issues. The BGIPU works to expand awareness and understanding of foreign relations and the contribution to be made by the UK Parliament to consolidate parliamentary democracy worldwide.
Through encouraging trade and sustainable economic development, supporting effective global peace and security mechanisms, defending universal human rights norms and respect for the rule of law, the BGIPU seeks to advance the key role that parliaments can play in international affairs
This includes cooperation at a multilateral level through the IPU, particularly in promoting parliamentary capacity building and bolstering democratic norms and institutions. The BGIPU also seeks to ensure that there is greater parliamentary input to multilateral dialogue, in particular through the United Nations system.
The British Group is governed by an Executive Committee whose members are elected according to the Rules of the Group, at the Annual General Meeting. The Executive is supported in carrying out the programme of the Group by a full-time Secretariat.
The BGIPU explains some more:

In its work, the BGIPU draws upon the resources and cooperation of a number of key partners.
The main stakeholders in the work of the BGIPU include the Speakers and senior officials of both Houses of the UK Parliament, all British Parliamentarians, APPGs and Inter-Parliamentary Groups of the British Parliament, particularly the UK Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.
The BGIPU works closely in cooperation with the IPU Secretary General and the staff of the IPU in Geneva and New York, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and other governmental and non-governmental organisations, such as those comprising the United Nations key institutions and agencies.
The BGIPU is also very keen to establish links with non-partisan think tanks, charities and membership organisations.
If you are interested in establishing links with the BGIPU please contact the Secretariat to find out more.

IPU document:
http://www.ipu.org/conf-e/125/sr2.pdf contains several mentions of the term “global governance”.
This
IPU document lists 14 objectives:
http://www.ipu.org/conf-e/126/Res-2.htm Objective 9 says:
Quote:
Strongly encourages compliance with the requirements of equity and renewal of political commitment to sustainable development based on the Rio principles, both of which should be key objectives of Rio+20 and vital components of legitimate global governance;
Objective 10 says:
Quote:
Calls upon parliamentarians to advocate strongly these priorities and work for immediate action by their governments to ensure their rapid implementation;
From the IPU and BGIPU web sites it would appear that British Parliamentarians are working towards GLOBAL GOVERNENCE, and NOT in the interests of the British people. And what makes matters far worse – none of them will tell us what they are up to.
