The parliament vote was 264-250 in favor, with 19 abstentions. But speaker Bulent Arinc said the outcome fell three votes short of the simple majority required by the constitution. So who was counting the votes in those Broward County precincts???

Which brings up another question I am almost afraid to ask:
If there are 15 members in the Security Council, and 8 represents a majority out of 15, then why are NINE votes neeeded for a resolution to pass.
Oh hell, why bothering to ask a question about the Frelling United Nations. Nothing there makes sense. Nothing.
