Democracy - have your say at your Union

Procedural motions
Procedural motions occur when all other business is halted to deal with one topic.
To enact a procedural motion, you would need a proposer, a seconder, and the support of twenty full members.
Several can be rejected by the Chair on the grounds of attempting to disrupt the meeting or not being relevant.
However if the motion is calling for a count of members or 'quorum' as its known, a change to the order of business, a motion that a question be not put in, a vote of "no confidence" in the Chair or a challenge to the Chair's ruling, then there is one speech in favour of the motion, one against and a summing up followed by a simple majority vote.
