No vote is an abstention. Votes may not be conditional on other Factions votes. Each Chancery card is then voted for, in Chancery order, up to the number available according to attendance at Parliament. Each Faction will automatically vote for the award of a card to itself, and against the award of a card to any other Faction, unless orders specifically state otherwise. Votes in the Common and Lords are simultaneous.
Factions vote the same way in each unless specifically ordered otherwise.
