LOL
and yet the Defence caucus voted against opposing this

I think you need to check with your caucus about whether that's really what they thought they were voting on.
but let's not get into that here.

It's not mine, it's Dukes

I'm beginning to think, some of these amendments are so complicated, maybe we ought to allow people to change their votes for the duration, since people may find they misunderstood it when they first voted.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

The government should be required, by law, to carry out a PR campaign explaining what the hell people are voting on and why.

There was a lot of voting after the 7-day period in the Midwest (not counted here).
This was one of the closer amendment votes we've had recently, in terms of the votes needed in any region to have made it gone the other way. Unlike the case in most recent amendments, there were no abstaining votes in any region.

[President Marokai]

I'm tempted to make the argument that my vote should've counted in the Midwest based on the argument Bacon King once used to justify why he couldn't be removed from office after the requisite period of inactivity and the arguments over "_ days" vs "_ hours" but this Amendment isn't worth it.

The problem is, I don't think there is an official start or end to the day in Atlasia.

The National Initiative Amendment passed in 4 regions with a very large national majority.  The measure failed in the Northeast with a tie in the vote, though there was a legal question raised about the validity of a vote that had been changed after a couple days.  The Northeast had twice as many Nay votes than all other regions combined.

IDS               8 (100%)     0
