I have been to many meetings based on similar principals and am the Chair of standing orders for a large UK Union

RRO based off us/common practice but Congress, Senate and the House of Commons do a lot a "naughty shit" that are outside RRO / Citrine.

Amending a motion with non related things should really be ruled out of order.

The "naughty shit" is a direct quote from a former whip.



I was corrected, that the US Congress uses something that is not exactly the same.

Might be similar for UK Parliament.

But you guys have the most downright entertaining government in the world.


Erskine and May a hard copy of which costs £400

It is online at https://erskinemay.parliament.uk/

But the executive has far to much power in the UK in my opinion - you can see why thye went after John Bercow as he was pushing back.


I'll miss him. He was a great Speaker.
