Talk:Division of the assembly

Thomas Jefferson

I've removed this clearly US quote from the UK section but I'm dropping it here in case anyone wants to use it more appropriately.

In A Manual of Parliamentary Practice, Thomas Jefferson writes:

The one party goes forth, and the other remains in the House. This has made it important which go forth, and which remain; because the latter gain all the indolent, the indifferent and inattentive. Their general rule therefore is, that those who give their votes for the preservation of the orders of the House, shall stay in, and those who are for introducing any new matter or alteration, or proceeding contrary to the established course, are to go out.

UK Parliament

I have edited the UK Parliament section to better reflect actual voting procedures.

Re-order sections?

I propose to move the United Kingdom to the top, because both the section on Australian House of Representatives and the section on Canadian House of Commons start by saying that their methods are similar to those used in the United Kingdom. Bwrs (talk) 00:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Agreed entirely. Aye: do it Groogle (talk) 10:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

floor plan: lobbies in Westminster

It would be nice to have an image of a floor plan for the division lobbies in Westminster.[1] Where do the members go to vote? Where are the doors that are locked? Where do the tellers count the members going past? How do the members come back to the chamber from the lobbies? – Kaihsu (talk) 09:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
