I don't care. This is going to work in a professional, legislative fashion despite awesome universal character.

So, main thread is for debate, amending, bitching, cheers and voting.

Put proposals here, so your mighty presiding officer would take them to main in order.

I don't support this proposals. I like Al and Xahar and I want to see them here in the Alþing, but when they want it then they must come to midwest. This proposals are unfair to the citizens of Midwest.

I have nothing against making both Honorary Citizens but get straight: you can't vote in two regions. It's just like me voting in Althing and being a member of Southeast legislature.

Sorry for invasion, but...

I'd support Ilikeverin but wait...

Do we choose only one delegate?

Shouldn't we rather have an election in Althing to determine, instyead of mere, and boring, designating one?

It's surely going to slow us, yet still that's improvement in contrast to the preceding referendas and proposals.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

So why the f**k did we created Althing? That doesn't make sense then.
