It is my understanding that the only way a new vote for ML can come up is with a unanimous vote - guess who says he won't vote for one? Yep, Trent Lett.
I'll say it again, if Lett had fought as hard for conservatives, as he's fighting to preserve his power, he wouldn't have to fight this hard.
I've heard the same thing, this unamious vote may be just on the final consent by voice and not the initial ballots.
Then again, Lott may vote for himself on the voice roll call and draw out the process.
