.....after watching the live feed of the EU voting this morning, I really have one worry and concern.......


.....How are they going to vote on Fracking tomorrow!

 

[thedarthVap3r]

fracking will get passed, theres just too much money at stake not to.

regardless your worries will be at rest in a matter of hours. so if not tonight , at least tomorrow you can sleep easy haha.

You know what my main concern is?

How the HELL the EU can run several countries at one time when they can't even vote properly!

Shame they don't frack with eliquid, we would have nothing to worry about as far as ecigs are concerned.

 

[yodadude]

"Cue sounding like a tit..." Wtf is fracking?

Pumping water and other chemicals into the ground to help extract Oil and Gas.

They were debating the fors and againsts before the TPD voting process, and will vote on the regulation of it tomorrow. KMS, you are right, I was shocked with McAven with her thumbs up/down routine to advise people how to vote. If I was in a voting booth, and telling everyone how to vote, I would be done for vote rigging! Also, I love the f*ck ups that happened, and having to re-do the voting!

I really wish I was a MEP today, becuase I would of made 2 oral amendments to get the vote on: -

1. October Vendor of the Month
2. leisureliquids Now or Later vote

I tried to follow the vote, but it was really confusing - no sense of order to the amendment numbers, no idea why some votes were a show of hands but others were a roll-call vote (done electronically).

Well they went in 'article numbers' so for example if an amendment say number 46 was article 2 but 67 was article 1, then the vote has to be taken on amendment 67 before 46. The show of hands is done first to see if there is an overwhelming majority one way or the other using the naked eye, if it looked close, then it was done electronically. Also I noticed McAven asked for a electronic vote when she wanted to ask for it to be taken back to the drawing board, so they can obviously request this.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks
