Runoff: Regional Motto

[Myroria]

Then change it. Propose the sweeping reform you desire and get it to pass the legislature. I am a private citizen. I hold exactly as much "power" as you do.

[Delfos]

I pledge to propose to reopen the selection of a new Regional Motto in case Abstain wins, in which case we can also discuss the election method of them Mottos and which Mottos shall be taken to the polls.

Therefore I campaign, Please:
Abstain

[Wast]

You tempt me with this french motto, but I think the the second is more direct and appropriate to the principles of the region.

[McMasterdonia]

This argument is dumb, even by my standards.

Sometimes I wish you were trolling delfos.

As Funkadelia pointed out, you had this option in the last election and it wasn't chosen so it was removed. That's how a runoff works. Why are you loudly advocating this now instead of weeks ago when we were discussing the mottos to begin with?

This sort of demagoguery is exactly what cripples a direct democracy.

I loudly advocate whatever I think is right and you have no moral authority over what is campaigned. If we think we need to change it, we will change it.

What cripples this democracy is your autocratic attitudes and prejudices, what cripples democracy is the concentration of power and a ruling class, what cripples democracy is what you try to elude others with your skewed notion of democracy. The Revolution was not done, you have halted the revolution and roam this region back to a retrograde bureaucratic republic.

I, for one, would welcome Myroria as the Taijitu autocrat, but I don't think that will happen anytime soon.

[Myroria]

I think we can all agree the only true autocrat in Taijitu can be the fickle, iron, resplendent will of the people.

Also Aniane.

Also Eluvatar.

I couldn't agree more.

[Myroria]

The vote has closed, and it appears that "Voulez-vous donc qu'on vous fasse des révolutions à l'eau-rose?" ("Do you think, then, that revolutions are made with rose water?") has won.
