Having it both ways

Mark Devenport | 18:19 UK time, Tuesday, 11 November 2008

According to the Assembly in a tight 47-45 vote on the future of the transfer test yesterday, the PUP's Dawn Purvis wasn't counted because she voted in both lobbies. And it wasn't even a multiple choice question.

P.S. It has since been brought to my attention that under the current rules of the Assembly, you cannot abstain from a vote, Dawn wanted to prove she was present and to abstain, so the only way to do that was to go through both lobbies. Assembly sources are telling me the abstention issue is something they are looking at.
