I open up a period of debate on this bill.

[Clyde1998]

I'm happy with the bill as it stands, although I feel that there should be a clause in section 2 that allows people who've lived in the country for more than a certain time (maybe 20 years) to apply for a visa in the same way that people who've lived in the country since before their 18th birthday could.

[Clyde1998]

I'm happy to call a final vote on this, should no-one else have any objections.

[Clyde1998]

So are we going to have a vote soon?

This. Although I don't know if Congress stops for a period during election time - which may be the hold up.

[Clyde1998]

I don't know when the change over occurs for the Northern Senate seats, but I'll vote Aye just in case it hasn't happened yet.

[Clyde1998]

Yeah ftr in October LLR took my Senate seat the Monday after election weekend

Then again, I didn't even make it to the next Monday, so maybe I'm a bad example

and that's where I came in
The way that I counted votes when I was PPT was to count the seat as voting (ie. Northern Class A) rather than the individual at the times when seats are going to change hands. So if the seat changes hands during a vote, the new Senator could 'replace' the vote for their predecessor.
