#2I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Welp, time to see how this plays out, I guess.

#35 votes. Remember that "Key Polish Political Party Comes Out Against Article 13" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19467726 and how people didnt believe Poles pointing out this particular party is just a bunch of has been crook liars? Guess what, 7 of them voted for ACTA today. No one was shocked in Poland by this, as it wasnt the first time they publicly lied to constituents about official position.

#4Hey, in case anyone hasn't read the article closely enough, this title is seriously misleading - the Article actually passed by a sizable majority, 348 votes to 274.
The thing he's freaking out about was that the motion to let it pass without amendment won by accident, but even then, do you really think they would have magically fixed a law with this many problems that most of them, empirically, wanted to pass anyway?

#5I saw a PDF of the votes, and it had the statement at the top that MEPs could ask for the correction - but that it wouldn't affect the vote.
As soon as I saw that I predicted that someone would pull exactly this stunt - vote one way, then try to claim the credit for actually wanting the exact opposite.
Have this group of MEPs pulled this stunt before?

Sorry but all the "internet's requests" was all for those two artcles, so it is no a matter of what you said.
Did I misunderstood or are two different votes? The law was already known it will pass, but what concerns those two articles, I guess it was a different vote, where the 5 was "missing", if I'd understood.
