In parliamentary procedure, a motion, or suggested resolution is proposed by the mover, one of the people at the meeting. A seconder (another person at the meeting) agrees that the suggestion should be discussed. The chair (the person running the meeting) calls for discussion on the motion. If it appears that the suggestion should be voted on, someone will call for the question. The chair will, once it appears that there is no more discussion, call for those in favour of the motion (those who agree) to signal (usually by raising hands), and then call for those who are opposed (who disagree). If those who agree outnumber those who do not, the chair says "Motion carried", which means that the suggestion in the motion has been adopted by the meeting. For example, at a meeting you could have an exchange like this: Mover: I move we eat lunch at the Chinese restaurant. Seconder: I second that. Chair: Any discussion? Curry Lover: I would prefer the Curry House. Feeble Stomach: Some of us cannot eat spicy food. And you can get curry at the Chinese Restaurant. Chair: Any more discussion? Hungry Man: I'm hungry. Let's have the question. Everyone: Question! Chair: All in favour of eating lunch at the Chinese Restaurant? (everyone except Curry Lover puts up their hands) Down hands. Opposed? (Curry Lover raises his hand) Motion Carried. We eat at the Chinese Restaurant.
