So basically you are admitting that your morals are guided by polls?

That's a good way to represent your people.

No, I'm saying that I am undecided on the bill and will abstain unless my vote is the deciding vote

The part over which Afleitch vetoed it seems to be gone.

This seems to be a good piece of legislation. I don't like some of the restrictions, but it is a step in the right direction. I support it and will vote for it if I am elected.

Existing laws banning children from engaging in dangerous occupations would still apply, and any occupation where there is a risk catching an STD certainly falls under the category of "dangerous".

(Sorry, didn't see this until now)

One rationale behind legalizing prostitution is decreasing the rate of STIs.

Ah well, you can't agree 100% with someone all the time, though I still do hope that you vote for me, even though I'm an evil misogynistic bastard who loves pimping children. Tongue
