  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  
  
  <p>The Aye-voters failed to carry a motion introduced by Vincent Cable (Acting Leader of the Liberal Democrats) to add an <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/glossary/?gl=114">amendment</a> to the traditional address offered to thank the Queen for her <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_speech">speech</a> at the Opening of Parliament.</p>
  
  <p>This amendment would have expressed regret that the Queenâs speech did not announce proposals for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendum">referendum</a> on the United Kingdomâs continued membership of the European Union.</p>
