1982 … the confuser was The Animals. It charted in 1964 of course but then recharted in 1972 and then 1982. The giveaway for me was The Pretenders.

Vote of [no] confidence in the French Parliament today.

Voting Procedure

This debate which started at 15h will then be followed by the vote, which is expected to begin between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

The vote will take place by “open ballot at the rostrum,” meaning that MPs will file their ballots one by one. MPs will have approximately 30 minutes to vote for, against, or abstain. Once the ballot is closed, the results will be announced immediately. Probably by 20h. [19h UK time.]
