I wonder why half of all WA resolutions get repealed, many of them right away.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Because the repeal is the reconsideration of the question. You know the EU referendum? People want to hold a second referendum. Just in the World Assembly, we can do that without much fuss.

OOC: Also, most people simply don't read the proposals very thoroughly, they just vote whatever they feel like at the moment, or what their region-mates or friends told them they're going to vote, or whatever side is winning (that last one is called the lemming effect). I've also heard rumours that some delegates *cough*Vancouvia*cough* threaten to kick people out of their region if they do not vote certain way...

Yeah, but once a resolution is voted in, I think it should stay in for at least 2 weeks or a month. When 80% of nations vote for a resolution and then 80% vote for the repeal of the resolution a week later, it's very weird.

I don't follow. Why should bad legislation have a period in which it must be kept active?

Maybe that's it.
