Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Death Penalty On Agenda
Following a tragic double-murder, capital punishment has surged as an election issue. There now appears a real possibility that right-wing candidate Peter Zhimo, running on a “Do the Crime, pay the Penalty” platform, will gain power. While society’s intelligentsia is outraged, debate rages as to whether the government should intervene.
I’ve encountered with two choices
1. “This is a democracy, remember?” rhetorically questions Professor RANDOMNAME of the University of Greater NATIONSNAME. “That means that if the people want something, the people get it. I hate to say it, but in the name of political freedom, we need to accept that our country will have the death penalty.”
2. “I’m sorry,” says Civil Rights Unionist RANDOMNAME, “but this travesty cannot be allowed to pass. If the government needs to crack down on lunatic fringe groups in order to keep our great nation free of the death penalty, then so be it. We must ban the politics of hatred and fear!”
3. Dismiss the issue
——————————
According to other game players, Option 1 and 2 will lower either Civil Right or Political Freedom. So I dismiss this issue.
