[edit] Complexity of this article
I feel the article should be reviewed as it is currently too complex. It should be written in plain english to assist the layperson in understanding what Division actually is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.115.180.250 (talk) 13:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I have heard some UK parlimentary commentators saying that one can tell which way a vote has gone in the house of commons by looking at how the tellers are standing when they approach the Speaker. Apparently the winners of the vote always stand on one side and the losers on the other. However I am not sure enough about this to edit the article and am not sure which way around it is. Can anybody either confirm or deny this? Bryces 22:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
I suppose there is some truth in it, due to the government usually having the majority thereby they will usually "win" -- Panthro (talk) 16:59, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
