Along with that suggestion, we make the proposal that the resolution be targeted at noxious emissions in general, not just those produced by particular mechanisms of transportation. Of course, we will understand if you would prefer to keep your narrow focus in an attempt to garner the most votes. Our position is rarely a popular one, and what we are about to propose may prove to be quite unpopular indeed. In our idealised version of such a law as you propose, the resolution would target All Industries, not just Automotive."
Alex displays both versions, hastily written, for the Assembly to see. Today, she simply used green ink to signify changes to text, and orange for the occasional comment.
Dearest Alexandra,
Mr Chombers sits a blunt in front of her and resumes speaking
While we appreciate you taking the time to improve our act in such a manner, we do not feel we could persue it, despite an acknowledgement that it is, at it's core, a great achievement should it pass.
The reason we have not tackled this and have focused on a narrower view, is that such a broad and wide sweeping proposal would inevitably have broad and wide sweeping consequences, and we believe that a narrow view allows for a specific and targeted approach towards issues at hand. This is not to say we do not have further acts in mind (we've developed something of an environmental soft spot) but we believe specific and comprehensive acts will suffice better and allows us to defend our positions better, as we ultimately will know where it was we were coming from in the write up.
However, Mr Chombers paused for a moment, we would love to co-author a bill with you should you so desire it, we are aware of Eireann Fae's environmental adoration, and coupled with our own adoration for yourself and Rowan, we would love to work hand in hand with you.
We sincerely hope this does not meet your dissatisfaction.
