| Message | All right, I will leave this bill open to debate but if the policy of abseentism and abstainaion continues then I assure you all that I will swiftly move to put these up to a vote, regardless of the negative outcome. Now then, getting down to brassk tacks: I am not married to any particular article. If anyone wants an article deleted or done over with a different proposal, that is fine with me. |
