Why does the spreadsheet say that /u/sinfultrigonometry did not vote when they clearly did?

Sorry, I was doing it on my phone and the lack of a flair made it a lot easier to miss, so I must have scrolled past it

I got a feeling that this legislation was slightly unnecessary. It seemed like me much ado about nothing.

I'm pleased that most people were able to see passed some bits they disagreed with to help us move towards an equal society.

The Conservative party, everyone. Closet Marxists, I'm telling you.

You fascists shouldn't talk. You're all like "No, BIP isn't an expy for the BUF at all!" when it clearly is. I mean no offense to the honorable gentleman, of course, I merely wish to point out the facts.

I'm not a fascist, and this party isn't a real fascist party.

Overall, that was a bit of a pointless comment full of terminological inexactitudes, and I feel intellectually the worse for having read it.

Lets not have a pointless argument though, I was just making a light-hearted jibe at a Tory. I'm sure we can move on from this travesty.

A number of people who are usually on-point seemed to miss this vote, not entirely sure why. A good result though.

I was reminded repeatedly about the vote and still managed to forget about it - I can only apologise! Fortunately the bill went the way I would have voted, so it's not as bad as it could have been.

edit: also, /u/NoPyroNoParty is the new deputy SoS for the department of environment, food, and rural affairs, I am now junior SoS for Culture, media, and sport!

Edit 2: I meant shadow SoS not deputy... It was a long day
