The proposals are too onesided!!

I think the UN prposals are all too one sided. That takes the fun out of it. It always wins by like 8 grands. We need to make the proposals so they will only be pass/lost by a margin.

Why? It's majority rules, perhaps, if more people voted in relation to the size of NS total, then there might be a closer margin.

Your not getting it. It would be more fun if it is a subject that many people agree or disagree on, it would be more fun.

check out the debates on abortion and how close of a margin the voting and discussion is

Yes, it would be, but how many proposals have made it to queue that have been that worthwhile for a debate to start that would end up with a close vote?

What exactly are you talking about?

If a proposal passes, this means the people (The darn'd Sheep some of them may be) voed a majority yes, if it did not pass, then a simple majority voted no. If a proposal is exciting, then that probably means it was rather debated quite hotly in the forums more then others and got alot of posts, if a proposal is "not exciting" then... well, stiff luck, sometimes its not all just fun-fun-fun, we have to accept that too. :?

And in case you did not notice a few proposals in the past made it only by a margininal majority anyway. :wink:

That help some? :)

The thing is, all proposals have to meet the 6% of regional UN Delegate Approval quorum. Unfortunately, many UN Delegates do not approve or even look at pending proposals. As a result, the proposals that manage to pass and move onto resolutional stage are probably fairly popular anyways, as they have been able to have been approved for voting.
