Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 6 words I was just talking about partisanship. Procedure Positioning · 28 words Partisanship has its limits. Not agreeing with a decision or voting nay is one thing. In my opinion, however, using social media as an election platform is unacceptable. Positioning Aside · 12 words I do not even want to know how much money was raised. Aside Positioning · 36 words Ultimately, what this shows is a lack of seriousness. We may think of ourselves as seasoned parliamentarians representing our constituents, but I am sorry, people are forgetting the essence of what it is to be human. Positioning Off point
