[Darenjo]

Even though I'm sure this is illegal, I fully support!

[A mean old man]

Actually, it might not be illegal...

[EDIT: The idea, that is; I bet it could be worded in a fashion that made it legal.]

I like this. It reminds me in a way of my condemnation of "shitty proposal writing."

[East Klent]

Even though I'm sure this is illegal, I fully support!

Same here!

CREATES the International Voter Anti Apathy Office (IVAAO) to ensure that these terms are met.

fixed.

[Knootoss]

I like my final clause better. It is also in no way different from the resolution at vote. Except the money will be spent far more usefully.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

After nearly doubling over with laughter, the Representative from Umbra Ac Silentium spoke up. "We applaud your imagination, fellow representative, however, however, we recommend you spend our time in working for the downfall of the current piece of legislation rather than being silly.

[Knootoss]

This is a serious proposal.

[Eireann Fae WA Mission]

Alexandra jumps onto the desk, startling the diminutive Ambassador now at her feet. "SUPPORT! BUNNY SODA FOR ALL!!" She immediately jumps down and takes her seat again, trying not to blush. Melošina looks back at her, bemused. "Æfæ'ǂi fesolkošænožu^[1]" The smile on the Faerie's face shows that she is merely kidding, of course.

¹ Pronounced "ee-fee-tskih feh-sole-koh-shee-no-zhu". Literally "are you neurotic?"

[Great Nepal]

Despite of being illigal, fully supported.

[Zoerb]

You know... without the silly clause at the end I would completely support this

[Lowell Leber]

Wholeheartedly for!!

[Powerfulbritannia]

Now this is a Excellent purposal, Because the idiots Who run the WA Dont read the Purposals

[Knootoss]

*Sipping from a can of Pink Bunny Cola * I have altered the presentation of the draft resolution to make it more palatable. I trust it is legal now?

[Warzone Codger]

We feel the strength of "mild" greatly misrepresents the effect of this proposal.

[Grays Harbor]

We support this. Not sure how enforcable it may be, but we support it.

[Mahaj WA Seat]

I like my final clause better. It is also in no way different from the resolution at vote. Except the money will be spent far more usefully.

Except that it STILL violates Game Mechanics. AND I will vote against because I DON'T WANT FORTY PERCENT OF MY BUDGET GOING TOWARDS SOMETHING ALONE

[Unibot]

MANDATES its members to allocate forty percent (40%) of their state budget to importing carbonated beverages from a brand that is represented by an antrophomorphic animal of the leporidae family.

I have a tab at the Stranger's Bar to pay for, I must oppose this measure!

Seriously, Knootoss? Make it proper, THEN I will vote for it. May want to add a fluffy title as well.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

Grinning, the representative from Umbra Ac Silentium spoke up, "Ah, now, we find this edited version much more agreeable. Should you submit, you will have our full support."

[Zoerb]

While I realize this is a joke I think you should look into making it serious.

[Doomiedoomiedoom]

*The Doomiedoomiedoom ambassador zooms in the the bottom of his paper examining closely*

You have my full support!

My great nation has already allocated forty percent of it's state budget to importing carbonated beverages from a brand that is represented by an antrophomorphic animal of the leporidae family. *Takes a sip from a rabbit's pop can*
