Division of the House

"A Division of the House is a parliamentary mechanism, available since the time of the Roman Senate, which calls for a rising vote, wherein the members of the house literally divide into groups indicating a vote in favour of or in opposition to a motion on the floor." wikilink derived

I wish there could be compelled, a Division of the House,
in favour of or in opposition to,
robust webcasting and other fundamental issues.

Make the fence straddlers pick a side.

Make them accountable at their next election.

Make them stand up for what they believe in.

Cowards; need not apply.


Odd that, though they are our "servants",
we cannot compel them to do so.

Nor even to participate in open and honest public discussions
on that subject or on any other.
