The Speaker acknowledged that she was right in what she said but the Motion had been put to the vote and the ayes had had it. |
They then circled ayes or no for each question on an answer sheet they had been provided. |
Pota passed into law with 425 ayes to 296 nays after a bitter 10-hour debate that was punctuated by vicious personal attacks. |
Well the result of division there being 32 ayes and 31 nos, the matter is resolved in the affirmative. |
Just after midnight, the vote won with 219 ayes, including an unexpected 49 Republicans and 170 Democrats. |
I started in the No camp but putting myself on both sides of the fence, I now think that the ayes have it. |
