@ Gavin:So what exactly is the point of having the Council vote on every contract?

It's great! For CMs who can now use every project they don't like to extort the rest for something they like.

That's exactly why silly procedures like 'disapproval resolutions', filibusters and holds will never disappear. While bad for everyone, they're wayyyy too good for individual lawmakers.

In other news: Two parties in Dutch parliament tried to "filibuster" a debate about the increase of the deductible of the minimum (mandatory) health insurance plan from €220 to €350 per year by request 8 hours of speaking time each. They got it, and ran out of text way before their time was full. Moeahahahaaa. Losers.
