How are the numbers stacked up. On the morning of the D-day, 269 for the government and 267 against. It is still a wafer thin lead that the Government has, which could change very quickly during the day. Its this figure which is the key to the survival of the Government. Abstentions. The more members abstain, the government's lead will increase by that proportion.

To vote or not to vote - that is the question before many of India's politicians. But as the UPA gets set to face the make or break trust vote on July 22, not voting turns out to be a big help for it too. Sometimes not taking a decision is also a decision, so MP's abstaining during the trust vote could well be the best case scenario for the UPA.
