Yes on 1st, 2nd, 5th.

No to 3rd.

Will have to think about 4th, not sure I get all the alternatives there.

Gustaf,

You didn't vote on the Preferential Voting amendment....which is interesting considering you started the original PV thread.

Ah, yes. Smiley I'll vote in favour of it then.

The reason for the PV amendment was that a poll was made and a lot of discussion as well and there seemed to be a wide-spread popular call for it.

But, even though I voted in favour of it, I am willing to concede that since the vote was so close it should perhaps be redone.

My argument has nothing to do with the closeness of the vote, although that is a good point.  How can you vote on an amendment that hasn't even been written down?  

Okay, so I'm a newbie, and this forum is quickly becoming a major addiction for me.  As a newbie, I am trying to understand all the rules of the game.  I asked where this supposedly-passed amendment could be found.  No one seems to be able to answer that question.  

It seems to me that an idea or concept was voted upon.  That is not how Constitutions get amended.  There must be a written document for a vote to take place.  Can you imagine the real Congress passing an amendment without writing it down?

At best, if my understanding of the situation is correct, I would say that an affirmative vote has been passed that an amendment ought to be drafted and voted upon.  Based on the specific language included or not included in the amendment, it is certainly possible that some would vote differently.

If I would be permitted to do so, I would officially submit this complaint to: who?  The President?  Would he do anything about it?  

The president is rarely here, the AFDNC chairman is the only one who seems to take any drastic actions on this forum. Smiley
