against the repeal, potato supremacy world wide!!!11!!!!!!!

“After coming back from vacation, this is what I find? First complaint: the regretting clause emphasizes prejudice against non-potato vegetables. This argument is rendered insignificant since all plants have no conscience and thus cannot feel emotion. Second, the concerned clause has a factual inaccuracy. ‘Couch potatoes’ is just a nickname for lazy people, not an actual subspecies of the potato plant. Lastly, the ranting telegram sent to all WA delegates who serve nations of TNP seems to contain arguments in favor of potatoes, whereas the proposal in question seems to be strongly against potatoes. Given these definitely valid complaints, I hereby vote against the proposal and encourage other delegates to do likewise (or else I’ll have no choice but to come to their houses and force their hand)”

-Lady Charlotte Schafer, Minister of WA Affairs of the Clevesian Empire

I think potatoes are nice, and I have no problem with the legislation, so imma just see how it plays out ig. I guess I understand both sides of the argument, but the first legislation was pretty silly anyways

In exercise of powers granted to me under the Telegrams (World Assembly) Act 2016, I vote against the motion due to receipt of campaign spam.

Formatting possibly to come.

Ahem...

FULL BLOWN SUPPORT!

Repeal 'On The Supremacy Of The Potato' NOW!

It's ruined thousands of meals across the world, caused overgrowths of potatos everywhere, and has caused a massive increase in potato crop insects and that sorta stuff!

In seriousness;
Please repeal this.
It's a joke resolution that was passed only because of a recent event, and I wish this will pass.

In context;

"Orifna votes FOR this proposal. We must take action and save the world's recipes of the past."

- Sir [REDACTED] of the Starry Sky Tropical Paradise, hereby understood as Orifna.

I wanna say, this is one of the best attempts at this I've seen. If any one was gonna pass, it was this one. Which I'm not gonna hold my breath that it does, but you have my support in your endeavor.

Receipts will be kept

Glad to see this is being defeated. The supremacy of the potato and their starchy goodness must continue.

We need to LIBERATE the potatoes from this travesty of model minority and decadent classism! This is a gross injustice for the chief liberation force in Nationstates to approve of this atrocity!

Don't let your love of the potato blind you from doing what's right for the potato!

Ambassador to the World Assembly Jean Jackson from the United States takes a seat, beginning to read the proposal. He leans back in his chair before putting his hands together at his face.

"You may try to take our spuds, you may try to destroy the Spud Hegemony, but you will never destroy our potatoes!", he remarks.

Jackson folds the proposal and puts it in his blazer's inner pocket, before getting up and walking out of the WA SC Chamber.

Preach it, Jean! All the more reason to vote for this repeal - and end the unnecessary seizure and destruction of tomatoes!

*whispers* I meant potatoes.

I wrote an issue draft to turn this battle back to Got Issues? instead. The names of the countries are obviously deliberate.

Against, by the way.

even though, potatoes have a lot of cultural impact in NS, WA shouldn't support one kind of food over another. culture alone is not enough for a GA legislation.
therefore, i am for this repeal.

REPEAL! I HATE POTATOES!

Not going to lie...

the vote for this is way closer than I thought it would be.

"It's not even a third in favor"

I was expecting 10%, 15% max. Twice that, ngl, I'm somewhat impressed. And that's with anti-campaign-telegram votes.
Guess I'll just have to try harder and make them come up with a better reason next time.
