    They should just accept the first vote! What happens if they still dont approve the bill?

    Ohhhhhhh, lets have another vote!

    Or there will be a few voters being offered a back hander to vote approve.

    Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.
