It would have been quite easy for him to stop all the speculation and flack, Raedwulf. He could have quite easily explained his objection. If it was what you say, fine. He would have had the support of many. But did he explain? No. Has he explained yet? No. Did he explain his reservations to the member who raised the bill? No. Instead he just used the arcane laws of the house and brought the whole system into disrepute. Whether his motives are noble or not his actions were objectionable. (Pun intended)
