Last week’s challenge to create a new standing order generated some interesting new rules. Readers were clever in linking the standing order number to the politicians they mentioned. This week’s winner referenced and oldie but a goodie in terms of political ‘procedure.’ The winning standing order created by @Orange_Tory is: “S.O. 1990, Rae: Members' records as provincial leaders cannot be used against them in Question Period.”

Perhaps Liberal Leader Bob Rae is not the only one who could use such a standing order, but he’s definitely the most recent. Another Rae-related standing order that was also in the running was “S.O. 666, Raed: No 1 who ben accusd o msledng House may be absolvd by a majrty vot consstng o only mmbrs o thar own prty” from @wintershorts. Of course, Twitter only allows a 140 character limit, so for those looking for a translation, that should probably say, “No one who has been accused of misleading the House may be absolved by a majority vote consisting of only members of their own party.”

@Orange_Tory sent in a few others worth mentioning: “S. O. 1949, Baird: Criticism of communists is welcomed in the House, unless it advances our trade interests, then shut up” and “S. O. 512, Oliver: The water served to MPs will be drawn from reclaimed trailings ponds, since they are perfectly safe.”

Last week’s winner, @KayleHatt, sent in an honorable mention: “S.O. 2015, Mulcair: When the Ldr of Opp. has been leading in polls this long, their off. title changes to PM-in-waiting.” We’re sure NDP leader Thomas Mulcair would be the first to vote in this new rule.

Another Hill Times favourite that was in contention for winning was @VoteJeanLuc’s “SO1234, Summer Is Coming: MPs may introduce amendments so long as gov't MPs can make it home in time for GameOfThrones.” (Great show!)

Congrats to @Orange_Tory for winning a subscription to The Hill Times and a public policy book.
