MEPs vote to demand that Ireland votes again in Spring

[evercloserunion]

It was 16 out of 22 in a committee. Get your facts right. There will be a full Parliament vote in December apparantly.

mccafferty cat' facts were right. 16 MEPs voted for the resolution. There are 785 MEPs. Yes, only 22 were on the committee. But that does not change the fact that only 16 out of 785 MEPs voted for the resolution, and it does not make those 16 MEPs representative of the EP as a whole.

They are representative actually. These Committees will be divided out vis a via Parliamentary strengths just like with Oireachtas Committees and the votes cast will reflect the opinion of each Parliamentary grouping.

Save the equivocation, please. And look up the definition of "committee".

Are these the same MEPs who voted against respecting the result of the first vote before we even had it?

How about they vote to respect and accept the outcome first then we vote.

You mean like how they respected the first Nice Treaty vote?
