New variant field? (World Assembly Woes)
Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2014 9:50 am#132: World Assembly Woes [Sanctaria; ed:Frisbeetria]
The Issue
After a very popular domestic bill was shot down due to contradicting existing World Assembly legislation on a similar subject, the @@CAPITAL@@ Observer organized a national poll among subscribers. Leaders of the 'National Sovereignty' and 'International Federalist' camps are meeting in your office to argue their case.
The Debate
1. "Micromanagement, micromanagement, MICROMANAGEMENT!!!" your Minister for Domestic Affairs shouts, banging his fists on your table. "Those buffoons are seriously overreaching their authority! Every resolution that infernal Assembly passes is an attack on our ability to pass our own legislation! We can't, and shouldn't, have nations full of fools ignorant to our way of life make our decisions for us. We'd be better off without that godforsaken snakepit ... we MUST resign from the World Assembly."
2. "Think of the CHILDREN", cries @@RANDOMNAME@@, your Foreign Minister. "Membership in the World Assembly is vital if @@NAME@@ is to ensure that countries across the multiverse adopt a way of living that is right! I shudder to think of the awfulness that would happen in other nations without our guidance in the World Assembly. Please, Rob the Insane, we must remain a part of this organisation!"
Is there a way to add a new variant (possibly @@RESOLUTION@@?) in this issue that shows the name of either the most recently passed General Assembly resolution, or even one selected at random? The text is vague enough already that it could be potentially referring to any resolution passed by the GA!

What do you think?
(Obviously the variant would have to exclude repeals and repealed resolutions somehow.)
