NSG Senate Chamber [NSG Senate] - Version 4

[Britanno]

I change my vote on ASSISTANCE from aye to abstain.

It's intentions are applaudable (is that a word?), but I worry of the idea of Aurentina becoming a nanny state.

[The Nihilistic view]

Given that they only specifically picked out 2 of 8 bills I would say so. Senators do have the right to not vote on all bills without facing an Inquisition and being forced into voting on bills when they don't wan't to. I know people before have not always taken kindly to this. They vote we count and unless it's illegal we don't need to quiz them on their personal choices.

I have already made clear I won't be pestering people like that (I believe it was when Pes asked a while back) so for the appointed secretary I am responsible for appointing goes around quizzing everyone it sort of breaks my word to the chamber. I don't want my word to mean nothing so please don't ask anymore questions like this. I believe that senators are quite capable of deciding whether to vote or not on their own, they need no prodding by officers of the senate.

Oh, I have only noticed you (and previous PpTs) asking the same question to people before for clarifications sake.

I have never asked people, ever as a senator or PpT. The only time I bring it up is if people vote for a bill that does not exist.

[The Nihilistic view]

I change my vote on ASSISTANCE from aye to abstain.

It's intentions are applaudable (is that a word?), but I worry of the idea of Aurentina becoming a nanny state.

I think the word your thinking of is "laudable".

[Britanno]

After a very persuasive statement from Senator Alexander Ainin in private, I have changed my mind once again on ASSISTANCE.

I hereby change my vote from abstain to aye.

I'm very sorry for whatever fuss this creates for the President pro Tempore and his secretary, I hope it is not repeated in the future.

[Macedonian Grand Empire]

Artificial Sunbathing Statute for Influenceable Schoolchildren and Teenagers Acting for the Nonproliferation of Cancerous Emissions: NAY

Food Labelling and Allergen Safety Act: AYE

[The Nihilistic view]

Voting period of 48 hours ended before the last two vote were cast/changed so they will not be counted as with standard procedure. It's late here so I may not have time to count the vote tonight but if you would all like to start debate on health section b as long as nobody tries to vote like last time it will count towards official debate time on the section.
