[DRAFT] - ...and justice for ALL?

[Radiatia]

Not sure if it's been done before. I had a quick squiz at the current ones but didn't see anything like this, so here goes...

Draft One:

[name]...and justice for ALL?

[description]A bizarre coalition of civil rights activists, seedy businessmen and convicted criminals have been petitioning the government to ban private law firms and nationalise the legal system, after a man who couldn't afford a lawyer was successfully sued for "breathing too loud".

[validity]Nations with a small public sector

[option]"As far as I'm concerned, paying for a lawyer is nothing short of bribing the legal system!" Says @@RANDOMNAME@@, who was once convicted for trying to start a socialist revolution. "We all have the right to justice, and I say that all lawyers should be supplied free of charge by the government, and lawyers who try to make money out of the justice system should be tried for treason!"
[effect]people who have lawyers are accused of "perverting the course of justice"
[stats]Tax rate up, Economy down, Government size increases, Law and Order budget increases, Corruption decreases

[option]High profile lawyer @@RANDOMNAME@@ is absolutely aghast at the suggestions. "I've met a lot of thieves in my time as a lawyer, but the idea of having taxpayers money pay for legal fees is about the worst example of stealing I have ever heard of! The system is fine as it is, and frankly we lawyers deserve a tax break! Do you have any idea how much tax I'm paying on my third mansion?"
[effect]Juries have been replaced by auctioneers, who find people innocent or guilty based entirely on how expensive their lawyer is
[stats]Tax rate down, Economy up, Government size decreases, corruption increases, Crime rate increases slightly

[option]"I think everyone should have access to a lawyer but I still want to be able to bribe the good ones to lie for me... err, not that I do that!" Says seedy businessman @@RANDOMNAME@@, scratching his long, pinocchio-like nose. "I mean, I can afford a lawyer at the moment, but if I lose this law suit I might not be able to afford one next time around. I say keep the law firms, but how about a small legal aid fund for those who really need it, such as bankrupt businessmen who have been accused of fraud?"
[effect]corporate tycoons who face lawsuits pose as "needy citizens" in order to save money on legal fees.
[stats]Tax rate increase, Government size slight increase, civil rights increase, averageness increase

Feel free to pour on the scorn give some feedback!

Bump.

No comments then? Is the silence a shocked silence of amazement? Or a silence of "I have nothing nice to say and shall say therefore nothing at all"?

This a slow forum. It can take a while to get comments sometimes.

Oh, okay then. I'll just read these waiting room magazines then....

- I'm not a fan of the current description. It starts with who is approaching you rather than the issue at hand. Maybe try a few different approaches. I feel like there is a better inciting incident for this one.
- the speakers of option 2 and 3 are immensely unlikable and don't really hide it. Coupling that with the lack of compelling argument in those choices, and all but the corrupt dictatorships are going to skip those options. As written, it's an easy issue to dismiss.

It's a good idea to start from, but my advice would probably be to start from scratch with a new approach. Sorry.
