	Crossing the floor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In politics, crossing the floor is to vote against party lines, especially where this is considered unusual or controversial.
		Votes, or divisions, are taken by entering lobbies to the left and right of the chamber to have one's vote tallied; the "Ayes Lobby" is on the Government side and the "Noes Lobby" on the Opposition side.
		In Canada, the term "crossing the floor" is used exclusively to refer to switching parties.

		In an unheated or vented crawl space, insulation should be installed on the underside of the floor over the crawl space.
		Be sure to install the insulation so that the vapor retarder faces up toward the warm-in-winter side (this means that you can't staple the vapor retarder to hold the insulation in place).
		Crawl spaces with dirt or gravel floors should have a 4 - 6 mil plastic ground cover to prevent moisture from damaging the insulation or structural materials.

		Almost everyone is aware of the importance of ceiling and wall insulation, yet very often nothing is done to insulate floors or basements.
		While the heat loss through floors or foundation walls is usually less than through ceilings or exterior walls, it can be significant.
		Crawl spaces with dirt or gravel floors should have a 4-6 ml thickness of plastic for ground cover to prevent moisture from the ground from damaging the insulation or structural materials.

	Australian senator Barnaby Joyce crosses floor - Wikinews
		Canberra, Australia – Barnaby Joyce, an Australian National Party member of Parliament crossed the floor in the Australian Senate October 11 over legislation proposed to permit mergers without the agreement of the competition watchdog body, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

		Well the recent two week floor crossing window for local councilors is now closed and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) have announced that 486 councilors crossed the floor with the ANC being by far the biggest winner.
		Without floor crossing legislation the NNP and DA would still be living very unhappily within the DA at local level and at national level only parted ways earlier this year during the recent local election.
		That said an entry on the DA Mal blog suggests that in future the DA will only accept floor crossers when the crosser is directly elected rather then proportionally elected, in other words only at councilor level.
