There are several combinations that result in problems.

It is more than irritating to not know the number of seats being elected until a few minutes before the election... As I've said many times before, the debate should come before we try and vote on things. Then we know what we actually want to vote on. > So - some imperfect drafting, despite the many rounds of amendments - but no > crisis.

Is anyone really surprised that a rushed job gave a poor quality result? _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
