[edit] Difference between Resolution and Motion

Can someone help clarify what the difference is between a Resolution and a Motion? Zebov (talk|contribs) 05:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe that our article on resolution (law) has the information you are looking for. Warofdreams talk 01:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dismbiguator

I find the name of this article somewhat disconcerting. It is perfectly possible for non-democratic bodies to use parliamentary procedure; it is arguable that the British Parliament was an oligarchy when its forms developed. Wouldn't Motion (parliamentary) be better? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:07, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

There may well be a better title, but motion (parliamentary) is not good, because they are extensively used in unions, debating societies and other non-parliamentary bodies. Warofdreams talk 06:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
