⚖️ Vote Auralia for real change in the World Assembly! ⚖️

[Auralia]

Hello! My name's Auralia, and I'm a longtime participant in the World Assembly who has authored twenty-three resolutions to date, on subjects ranging from international trade to universal jurisdiction to network neutrality to a minimum standard of living.

Unlike most of the candidates running in this election, my platform is substantive, feasible, and actually has to do with the World Assembly.

If elected, I pledge to bring genuine reform to the World Assembly by accomplishing the following goals:

Pledge #1: Repeal GAR #2, "Rights and Duties of WA States"

For the past twelve years, General Assembly Resolution #2, "Rights and Duties of WA States", has served as the World Assembly's de facto constitution. Unfortunately, "Rights and Duties of WA States" is egregiously flawed for numerous reasons:

• the resolution is almost completely plagiarized from the 1949 Draft Declaration on Rights and Duties of States;
• the resolution contains a morally repugnant conception of war, which is that war is permissible so long as it is consensual,
• the resolution effectively legalizes armed conflict between two or more mutual aggressors, in which each party wishes to take control over the others’ territory, population or resources, because such a war is technically consensual,
• the resolution forbids most just wars, including peacemaking operations and humanitarian interventions, because not all parties consent to the conflict, and
• the resolution prevents the World Assembly from taking or supporting any military action whatsoever, precluding the World Assembly from addressing violations of human rights or threats to international peace and security.

I pledge to repeal this resolution at the first available opportunity.

Pledge #2: Restore democracy in the World Assembly by limiting delegate influence

Delegates have extraordinary power over the World Assembly. For example, the delegate of the North Pacific alone has 1000+ endorsements. Many other delegates, including most GCRs and some UCRs, have 100-500+. This translates to thousands of votes in the hands of a few players.

In recent times, power has been further concentrated through voting blocs, such as the World Assembly Legislative League, consisting of the North Pacific, Europeia, the International Democratic Union, Balder, and Europe. The League has between them a grand total of more than 2000 votes. Voting power of this magnitude, deployed early enough, is sufficient to effectively guarantee a resolution's passage or failure right out of the gate in most cases.

This level of influence is unfair and unwarranted. The balance of power in the World Assembly has tilted too far away from the World Assembly author and the individual voter for many reasons:

• Skilled regional politicians and gameplayers are rewarded with World Assembly influence despite not doing anything to deserve it.
• Many delegates do not have any interest in the World Assembly and abuse their excess votes.
• The few delegates who do have an interest in the World Assembly therefore have nearly complete control.
• The current structure provides no incentive for delegates to encourage genuine regional participation in the World Assembly, which is arguably the only legitimate purpose of the excess votes.

I pledge to take decisive action to limit delegate influence over the World Assembly at the first available opportunity.

HASHTAG AURALIA TWENTY-TWENTY

It's game over from our end. After careful consideration, we have decided that expressing support for Auralia - a nation which stands for many of the same values that we did throughout our campaign, and whose two main precepts are not in contradiction with ours - is the best path going forward. In any event, onwards to a smarter-working Assembly!

Are you going to do this everywhere? A large ‘exposé’ on the ‘WA Elite’ because you’re losing?

I don't support any of the other viable candidates, including Jocospor. I will probably abstain from the final vote.

Hey bud. I'm loosing because of a targeted attack against me by the Top 5 candidates. This is not how a real election works. Not at all.

VOTE RIGGING = WA ELITE

I voted for Valentine Z shortly after the "NO TAG:WA DAY 3" argument started to collapse (still technically endorsing Auralia), where's MY fancy whatsit? XD
