Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
A Farewell To Raised Arms?
After several of your Party members accidentally voted with the Opposition during the traditional ‘show of hands’, inadvertently defeating one of your landmark bills, many have called for a reform on how politicians cast their votes on legislation.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “With all due respect and all, why are we still sticking to this dinosaur way of voting?” comments Johann Rikkard, who at eighteen years old is the youngest politician ever elected in NATIONSNAME. “Am I the only one who feels like we need some modernity up in here? And it’d be so easy too. Look, I put together this app on my way over that lets us vote on-the-go. We can vote while buying a cappuccino and then instantly post all our votes and political positions online. The public will know where we stand on hot button issues, while we’re out in public! There’s no way that this can be abused, I’m almost positive.”
2. “It’s not my fault! I was sleeping and a nightmare startled me awake!” cries supercentenarian Party member Ella Utopia, who at one hundred and ten years old is the oldest living politician in NATIONSNAME. “The old ways are the best ways. We don’t need this new-fangled technology, which may I remind you can often become quite, what’s the word, eh, ‘buggy’, yes, that’s it. If anything, we should celebrate our history by incorporating more of our traditional ways of voting; we could use ‘kick the bucket’ for the budget and ‘throw the bone’ for the Speaker!”
3. “Why must we always seek the extreme?” pipes up Jake Goethe, a representative from the ‘Democratic Union of Licensed Legislators’, coincidentally hovering around the mean age of Parliament. “What about a big green button on our desks for Yea, a big red button for Nay, and a big grey button for Abstain? That should be simple enough for anyone to understand, right?”
4. “There’s an easier way to fix this problem,” whispers your Minister for Democratic Reform, a position created for one of your most loyal Party members. “It won’t matter in what fashion they vote if we force everyone in the Party to vote the same way as you! Anyone who doesn’t comply or slips up gets kicked out of the Party – like the traitors they are – and stripped of all benefits. That should keep even the old geezers awake. I’m sure that the Opposition can implement the same rules for their parties.
