[Ainin]

He doesn't have to vote on every act.

Then what do we put down for those? Nothing? Because then the vote would be skewed.

How.

Example.

I vote aye on Act 1.

Act 1:
Aye: 1
Nay: 0

Act 2:
Aye: 0
Nay: 0

Where's the problem?

No vote --> no record. It's isn't rocket science.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

[Venaleria]

Okay....

First Amendment to the Ministry Foundation Act | Author: Ainin [TR] | Sponsors: Maklohi Vai [LD], Mishmahig, Yanalia [RG], Wolfmanne [PC] | Urgency: Low

---

The Senate of Aurentina,

Lauding the intentions of the Ministry Foundation Act,

However noticing several odd names for the ministries,

Enacting the following clauses:

The Ministry of Interiors shall henceforth be known as the Ministry of the Interior.

The Ministry of Defense shall henceforth be known as the Ministry of Defence.

The Ministry of Environment shall henceforth be known as the Ministry of the Environment.

The Ministry of Work shall henceforth be known as the Ministry of Labour.

The Ministry of Treasury and Finance shall henceforth be known as the Ministry of Finance and the Treasury.

All laws and statutes mentioning the previous names remain valid.

Hereby passes this amendment to the Ministry Foundation Act.

Adequate support for queue.

[Ainin]

I presume we begin debating now?

a) This senate declares primary objective of space exploration to be peaceful exploration of space for benefit of humanity, by expansion of knowledge of spatial phenomena alongside colonisation of extraterrestrial bodies for benefit of humanity.

Just by reading this I am opposed. Why waste money on sending men to space?

Debate when this vote is over.

[Britanno]

Debate when this vote is over.

Yeah sorry about that. When checking the timezones, I checked the wrong one so I thought voting was over.

FSMA: Aye
SBAA: Nay [did no one else notice the "90%" provision?]
UCA: Nay [seems ripe for abuse and ludicrously expensive]
PEA: Aye
CFSA: Aye

Or did I miss it? Hope not. Timezones suck.

And did anyone pay attention when it was pointed out?

[Yanalia]

The 90% provision was pointed out already.

And did anyone pay attention when it was pointed out?

Yes, several Senators changed their vote.

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

Universal Health Care Act: Yea
Educational Framework Establishment Act: Yea
Free School Meal Act: Yea
Small Business Assistance Act: Abstain
Universal Credit Act: Yea
Public Education Act: Yea
Commonwealth Fire Services Act: Yea

[Phocidaea]

And did anyone pay attention when it was pointed out?

Yes, several Senators changed their vote.

But doesn't it seem insane on the face of it that smaller businesses should have to pay what will very likely be more than larger ones? To me it seems like an economic attack on small businesses and a reduction of competition for larger ones. How many people here can honestly say that big businesses deserve less regulation than small ones?

Why are we not on Pacific Daylight Time?

Because the guy that compiled the initial vote counter decided to use PST.
