(Passed) WAAF Reform Act

I would believe that this act is passed. As we needed at least 8 participants, not total votes in favor of the proposal. I think even a distribution like 1 favor : 7 abstain would work from what i understand.

I think you are getting me wrong. My confusion is there is a judicial interpretation that majority approval votes have to be counted based on ALL member states of Parliament. Now, I won't contradict at the moment the 11 votes required constitutionally to pass a law.

The issue here is different, there are 6 vacancies making the Parliament composed of 14 nations. And applying the ruling I've mentioned, there must be 8 approving votes to pass a law and by the official count there is only 7 votes. And the abstention has no bearing at all since they neither voted in favor or against, thus, in effect, if we have 14 now in Parliament, and 9 cast their votes, we still have 5 votes that were never forwarded that could make or break the proposal. So, I do believe that as much as I support the proposal, technically, it didn't passed.

No there must only be 8 votes with a majority of those votes to pass a law.

SO what you are saying is that it need to be 8 votes in FAVOR? No. We only need a majority of the parliament to show up and vote . There was 9 votes. 7 in favor, 2 in abstain. Not being present and Abstaining are two different things. 9/14 is majority present, so this bill is passed.
