It's good to see some debate on those proposals (I opposed a good number of them, so the results were fine with me with small exceptions like animal rights), but if this is going to turn into the same old tired fight over which is the most awesome party and who is or isn't opportunistic or a moderate hero I highly recommend a few duels (I think Griffin has a good establishment for those affairs) to solve this and stop repeating the same arguments over and over again.
Is that legitimately a thing that people abide by (half-joking)?
Why not? It's strange, slightly ridiculous and potentially dangerous for any officeholder, but many complain that Atlasia is too boring, and they are indeed legal.
