Esteemed Ambassadors, people of the World, our time is rather priceless so I will keep this short: my constituents paid a sum for me to be here to give our response to this proposal, as I'm sure most of yours have as well. To accuse an entire region on the basis of misinformation of political identities is arrogant at best and blatant and malicious unprofessionalism at worst. Worse still, the fact that this was allowed to come to the floor on a baseless assumption of dictatorship and Nazism--infamously a right-wing policy--is an insult to our constituents, and in nations with libertarian policies such as the Autonomies, is manipulation with the intent to control or conform.
Let's not kid ourselves, folks--this decision was dead before it hit the floor and the disrespect we have shown our people with entertaining it is embarrassing enough. I stand before you not as a person of great political power. I have a day job as a theoretical physicist. Our sortition policy requires a new appointee every year and all of our decisions are held to vote. The People of the Free Land of Syndicalist Autonomy addresses the chamber floor and our response is Nay.
They return to their seat, grumbling about billing the proposer for the travel expenses.
The Based Ambassador of Paradise approaches him on a pee break. "We could like, rideshare back to our countries, and split the cost, saving money" he timidly says.
