I move that the house condemn the government for its lack of action concerning the Northern Isles crisis, and demand the allocation of, not 6, but 7 budget units to both remedy the original problem and assist in funding for the poverty stricken government.

I should like to point out that we proposed a budget giving them 6 budget units. It's not our fault that other people chose to vote against it. -_-

No, they voted against your budget proposal.

Also, we gave the Northern Isles some money even before the storm hit.

Glad you agree. What has been failed to be understood is that a voter may agree with giving the Northern Isles the money, but NOT with the rest of your budget decisions.

You should have just said that 6 units would be given to the Northern Isles and left it with that.

The question is as in the motion.

As many who are of that opinion say aye,
Aye!
To the contrary no,
No!

Division!

A sad day indeed for the residents. This is hardly going to look favourable at the by-election...

So its a sad day because the House didn't say anything? How would being critical of the government help prevent a devolution attempt anyway?

Well I'm sure they wouldn't complain about having an extra budget unit allocated to them...

I know, but they're hardly going to look favourable on a party who doesn't support more aid, even if it may not follow it up...

Then make a statement motion to that effect rather than one that starts "I move that the house condemn the government"
