Skrifa may vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain

Aye.

Vote amended to Nay.

Aye

Actually, I have just come to the realization that this is not the same legislation as was decided on last term. I accidentally put forth an older version which still has many flaws. Therefore I think we should kill this legislation.

My vote is now NAY

Aye

A true pain indeed, but I will agree that we should pass the correct legislation fist time if we can.

As such Amended my vote to Nay

Sorry about the late-ness of this, my vote is Nay.
I hereby declare this bill as failed:
