I don't need words from you. I need you to understand the following. You do not have permission to remove any of my OOC text relating to time zones in this thread. I will consider it to be in bad faith and take appropriate action. Every word I say about time zones during this vote has been and will be OOC. It took a lot of work of the very kind you often demand from those of us who maintain the queue and voting counts, and this would be your second time ruining my contribution if you removed it.
That should clear this up. No further discussion on the matter will be required.

I'd advise against that. Last time you tried that, it disrupted the voting and caused confusion. Not only was it the wrong time zone but it was off by an hour. You should leave the time zones to me, by the looks of it.

[spoiler=Participatory Consumption Systems Act]Participatory Consumption Systems Act
Urgency: Significant
Author: Osea (C)
Sponsors: Free South Califas (C), Slazliyka (C), Sahrani DR (C), Polvia (RG)
Description:
Recognizing that the mechanisms of the market can often be inadequate for expressing the desires of citizens in regard to their consumption needs; for example, markets tending to favour those with means, and failing to factor how limited means affect consumption plans.
Further recognizing we need a system that enables all citizens to fully express their needs and work together for mutual benefit in this area.
Declaring, with the above in mind, that the following items shall be passed into law.
- All citizens will be empowered to create and participate in democratic councils dedicated to the purpose of creating consumption proposals derived from the input of citizens.
- These consumer councils will be empowered to negotiate with producers on behalf of their constituency
- They will be obliged to full openness in regards to their dealings and conversations to producers and any affiliates of the producers. This will involve, but not be limited to, the maintenance of a public record of all affiliations and contracts and a system for enabling citizens to bring complaints to the attention of the public, plus an obligation to notify relevant authorities in regard to all meetings where business or matters related to commercial interests were discussed. Failure to do so will result in penalties and, in councils with recall systems, may be used as grounds for a recall vote.
- These councils will be guaranteed the right to manage their own internal proceedings and organisation, subject only to the will of their constituencies.
- All citizens will be permitted to enact systems of recall in their councils and will be guaranteed the right to impartial oversight of voting processes.
- The state will be expected to support citizens in the creation and effective maintenance of a system of economic facilitation boards. The purpose of these boards will be to facilitate information exchange and processing between producers and the consumer councils for collective consumption proposals and for large-scale investment projects, amongst other things.

Indeed, my vote counter has been continuously correct. We all need to ignore Rumostan so he doesn't cause an hour or more of confusion like earlier. This is exactly why I started a censure motion. These disruptions are tiring and help no one.[
