Hi, several times now I have discovered that when my issues have been resolved / legislation enacted, the result is the exact opposite of what I Accepted. For example, I had an issue now about education in Arts and philosophy. I accepted to continue allowing it, but the result was that education in arts and philosophy is now banned.
This has happened at least two or three times, and is rather annoying in an otherwise entertaining game!

Are you using a web accelerator? This can sometimes mess with what you choose in issues.
I don't use any that I know of. I'm using Mozilla Firefox and sitting on a University net.

Also this has changed with the issue mechanics being switched from links to form buttons web accelerator's should ignore and not cause the issue.
I have to say. I have no idea.... but a mod/admin person may be able to work through things with you.

Just to make sure the problem here is well-defined. Am I understanding correctly you had received this issue:#124: To Paint Or Not To Paint? [Aoifambia; ed:Sirocco]
The Issue
An elite group of highly-qualified, well-respected scientists, lawyers, and doctors are campaigning to outlaw the study of the Arts and Humanities in the Universities of @@NAME@@.
The Debate
1. "Why should Arts students get to lounge around reading books and watching daytime TV for hours on end, when some of our hard-working youngsters are dedicating themselves to the study of worthwhile and valuable subjects; studies which will benefit the nation as a whole?" asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, a student engineer. "We should be grooming our young people to help, not sponge off the system. The Arts should be considered a hobby, not a career."
2. "You can't mean that," gasps Prof. Catherine Gratwick, renowned worldwide for her paintings of trains. "Learning should be done out of love, not duty. The Study of the Arts has been a noble field for many centuries, and learning it is not as easy as you think. I'd rather die than live in a world where creativity is stifled. We should be encouraging young artists, writers, musicians - if only to strengthen @@NAME@@'s cultural reputation."
3. "What's the point in allowing most young people to continue in further education anyway?" enquires @@RANDOMNAME@@, a factory manager. "Surely most students would be better employed in manual and factory work? You should handpick a select few to study medicine, the law, science, and business of course, and utilise the majority of youth to increase the country's productivity in industry. Academic freedom just gets in the way of a functioning society, I've always said."
You chose option #2, which would results in supporting artists, but instead you got in your results "the studies of art and philosophy are banned" (being the result for option #1) ?
