		Members who had the privilege of being in the House at the time will recall that that was the Opposition's choice; that was how they chose to spend their time in Committee—I have no complaints about that.
		We have the double whammy of Members being able to vote on a debate that they did not attend and for which they were not even in the building, and the Prime Minister coming along to vote on something of which he was blissfully unaware.
		If every time we voted, every Member of Parliament had to put his or her hand on a truthometer or, for those of us who believe, the Bible and say, "I've heard every word of the discussion", there would not be many people in the Division Lobby.

	One member one vote -- is it more democratic? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		One of the most important discussions at the federal NDP convention was on the question of ‘one member one vote’ (OMOV) for the selection of the party’s leader.
		If rank and file members of a union are tired of "pork-choppers" being the delegates to NDP conventions, they can fight for the delegate of their choice.
		OMOV doesn’t change the situation at conventions one bit, doesn’t address some of the problems that exist with convention structure, and has strengthened the idea that "the unions are the problem" in the NDP.

	One Member One Vote (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		One Member One Vote (originally called One Man One Vote) was always the idea that full members of an organization can vote for the national officers that represent them.
		Originally, allowing the membership to vote for their Officers had a few limited goals to help foster more accountability to the membership, more balanced and diverse representation, more difficulty to influence peddle to a small pre-identified group, and more membership participation.
		All board members represent the membership and should be individually and collectively responsible to them for the sound and proper performance of their duties.

		The amendment expands the range of votes a federal mutual savings association may allow a member to cast on issues requiring action by the members of the association from the current 50 to 1000 votes to one to 1000 votes per member.
		The trade association opposing the amendment argued that the one member, one vote provisions are unique characteristics of credit unions, which should be maintained.
		In response to the comment that the one member, one vote principle is jeopardized by the ease of later amending the federal charter, the OTS believes that members of a federal mutual association should continue to have the right to change the number of votes per member if they wish.

	Chartist - Whatever happened to One Member One Vote?
		When Tony Blair claimed in Darlington last August that "basic decisions should be taken on a 'one member one vote' basis through a broad based enlarged Labour Party", he was re-stating the established creed that OMOV was crucial to his personal drive for modernisation.
		Indeed, a simple OMOV ballot could be used for members within a region or nation, with the candidate receiving the highest number of votes topping the list, the second highest going second and so on.
		It emerged that while an OMOV ballot would be used for short listing candidates, the actual selection and ranking would be undertaken by a sub group of the NEC, behind closed doors, with a minority of regional representatives taking part in the process.

		If a voter does not see much difference between candidates, or if a voter feels the chances are small that his or her vote will change the outcome of the election, then the effect of his or her vote is minimal.
		Some scholars have suggested that voting is only one form of political participation and that citizens engage in a number of political activities other than voting--writing or calling their representatives or attending local political meetings.
		Citizens may conclude that even if their vote is not likely to change the outcome of an election, it is important to vote to show their support for the political process and the political system.

		Or, will the cries of members being permitted to vote costing too much, be the excuse used to hide behind by fellow Delegates, and those who have power, who really prefer not to Give the Vote to members....
		District Council 37 has for too long allowed the issue of One Member One Vote to fall through the cracks, and its leadership, both past and present, has quietly turned a blind eye to the reality that the system now in place is a mockery of democracy.

	Althouse: Alito and "one person, one vote" reapportionment.
		Wade,” “one person one vote” has an attractive or at least neutral ring to it, until you get into the details of how it is actually operationalized.
		Speaking of "one person one vote" and all that, there's also the interesting situation that apportionment and congressional seats are drawn not according to the population of eligible voters, but according to the total population.
		In certain districts (especially in California, due to its large population), the percentage of residents who are non-citizens is over one-fourth or one-third of the population, and hence representatives are elected by electorates whose size is quite clearly smaller than that of other districts.

		This means that the OMOV survey which was taken some months ago in Chess Life at great expense to the USCF, as a result of which the members voted overwhelmingly in favor of OMOV, meant nothing, because the issue was never put to a vote at the delegates meeting.

		The OTS has received, for example, inquiries from credit unions with membership voting rights of one vote per member, who have asked to retain their current voting requirements upon conversion.
