We then  voted on a lengthy Liberal resolution  er, it was amended by Labour  we voted on  all of the separate points in the resolution, all were agreed  and then Professor  decided that he wanted to move a further amendment which after some consultation, some discussion with the legal people about it's validity, he did  which wiped out all of the things that we'd just agreed and we turned  to the original Conservative motion  minus the beginning phrase and with a couple of things stuck on at the end  and we thought well that's it the Conservatives will vote for that, but no  although it was their own motion  in all but name, the Conservatives wouldn't vote for that  unless Mr  was allowed to move it.
