-After the [[2009 Procedures and By-Laws Bill]] passed Parliament, MP [[Jimbrock]] (FFF) introduced a bill to change the function of "Abstain" votes in Parliament.  The bill was introduced on September 18 and amounted to a modification of the [[Legislative Procedures Act]] and a change to Parliamentary precedent.  MPs [[Benkarnell]] (ESP) and [[Stalin's Pipe Organs]] (PRSP) objected most to the bill's second provision mandating a weeklong postponement in case of a tie vote; SPO convinced Acting President [[Hashasheen]] to pledge a veto should the bill pass with this provision.  MP [[Krall]] (BWS) gave the most eloquent speech against the bill, arguing that it could result in Parliament passing bills for which there was no strong support.  Jimbrock was persuaded to withdraw the bill on September 21.+After the [[2009 Procedures and By-Laws Bill]] passed Parliament, MP [[Jimbrock]] (FFF) introduced a bill to change the function of "Abstain" votes in Parliament.  The bill was introduced on September 18 and amounted to a modification of the [[Legislative Procedures Act]] and a change to Parliamentary precedent.  MPs [[Benkarnell]] (ESP) and [[Stalin's Pipe Organs]] (PRSP) objected most to the bill's second provision mandating a weeklong postponement in case of a tie vote.  MP [[Krall]] (BWS) gave the most eloquent speech against the bill, arguing that it could result in Parliament passing bills for which there was no strong support.  Jimbrock was persuaded to withdraw the bill on September 21.
