While I originally voted for, I have since changed the vote to against based on the discussion in this thread.

It certainly presents an opportunity for it but to argue it mandates it completely flies in the face of earlier criticisms lobbed at my resolution that you expressed agreement with.

OOC: Fine, it either mandates massive surveillance system that makes people less likely to approach police with tip-offs as they'll be caught on camera, or it mandates lots of money wasted for no good reason whatsoever. Neither option is good.

Happy now? :p

OOC: If you're willing to push a deeply flawed draft instead of pulling it back and making sure it's actually viable and functional, you're already betraying by putting their trust on a sinking ship.

OOC: That's your opinion of the matter and I'd kindly ask you to drop the subject if you have nothing of greater value to add to the discussion.


OOC: Looks like they tried to warn you.

The Federal Government of Keswickholt welcomes this decision by the GenSec.

We await the response of the GenSec in regards to the reason for the change in stance to push this from Legal to Illegal.

(OOC: The WA page doesn’t say anything about the legislation being discarded. Was this because it would have failed anyway?)
Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.
My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

OOC: I was under the impression that the illegality wouldn’t have been announced on the proposal itself, and that the proposal would’ve just been discarded at the end of voting even if it technically passed.

OOC:
It should've shown up here:

EDIT: See here.

EDIT again: I presume that because the decision supposedly came out just a few hours before the voting period ended, no mod was on to use their Discard feature - which isn't a big deal in the long run, given that the proposal failed. One must wonder what would happen at this point, if the proposal had passed.

Condemn Civil Defence Siren was mod-discarded immediately after getting to vote but it was never classed as actually being discarded after voting ended, if that helps.
