Those who abstain remain behind.

Yes. They voted for it in the first place. For the previous 10 years, most MPs had supported giving women the vote, but some had not, including Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. In 1909, 255 out of 343 MPs had voted to support giving women the vote. However, the proposal failed because Asquith "forgot" to give it time in Parliament.
