Guest Rose Posted May 1, 2013 at 02:29 AM Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 at 02:29 AM When you use a motion – move the previous question – it means that the debate is ended and we need to vote on a motion on the table.It is possible that after a motion to move the previous question, a member can make a motion to amend the main motion that we are supposed to vote on immediately after the motion to move the previous question was carried?

alanh49 Posted May 3, 2013 at 11:34 AM Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 at 11:34 AM Just moving and seconding the previous question will prevent all amendments well it is pending. If lost, amendments would again be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
