[Allama]

GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION AT VOTE

Repeal "Suppress International Piracy"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#20

Proposed by: Cyanbeard

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #20: Suppress International Piracy (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Avast!

We the hearty mateys of the World Assembly,

The jolly swashbucklers aboard the vessel of international law,

Perturbed by the grief imposed upon the brethren of the open seas,

Bothered about the harsh penalties levied upon those weary souls,

Feeling a touch of sea-sickness at the sight of folk forced to scuttle their scurvy ships,

Also worried about the extreme demands laid upon nations' navies, coast guards and judicial agencies by laws that are too strict,

Appalled at the vast number of honest folk forced to work for corrupt governments as "privateers" in order to continue their trade,

Verily believing that it is now time to signal a shift,

Plotting a passage into yonder patrimonial seas of bounty,

Hereby repeal GAR #20 "Suppress International Piracy"

Don't forget to cast your own vote on "Repeal "Suppress International Piracy""!

I heartily support this fine legislation in the name of Taijitu's most celebrated tradition: piracy!

Yarrrrr!

I got a chuckle out of this, and may have considered it were there more substance behind the style, but I can't see any so I'm going to be a spoil-sport and vote for voting against.

[Khem]

AYE!

[Allama]

Voting in this poll has closed at 2 Taijitu Citizens' ballots for "Vote For", 2 for "Vote Against", and 1 for "Abstain". As a tie-breaker, I've consulted the regional stats on NS:

Amongst Taijitu residents, voting is currently 8-19 (70% Against).

I have therefore reluctantly voted Against the WA proposal "Repeal "Suppress International Piracy"".
