Can't we vote about this?
I'm pretty sure the new regime is declaring Martial Law.

I still don't have an answer to this from Light Bulbs
Clarification please...
If there are insufficient voters for this proposal to be resolved (ie, less than 42 votes cast) is it subject to the moratorium?
I don't think that I'm picking nits.
I do think that there are four vote options at the moment (Yes, No, No Preference, No vote) and I'd just like to know the consequences of all of them before I act.

Yes, No, and No Prefence all count toward the 42.
If there is not 42, the vote is as though it never happened, so it could be voted on again.
I hate No Preference, just to make my position clear.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
New regime, billytea, new regime.
So just to get this straight, this new regime is going to feature military levels of discipline, which will be administered by ita, and will involve a lot of people being thrown up against walls?
I was going to ask how you ever expected to take power, but now I'm just surprised it hasn't happened by popular acclaim already.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know, I don't know. I was going to say if it doesn't get the minimum, it doesn't count, but I'm not sure. Do we have anything in the Text? NUUUTTTTYYYYY!!!!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I want to see the system in action for a non-policy decision or five before I even contemplate another change to the system.
What bitterchick said (and all her words above it too).

Thanks Jesse! Sophia

ahh.. welcome to Confusion, Jesse. I'm the first house on the right.. no.. the left.. wait, if you're coming from town and the electric train's smoke is blowing north, three people get off at chattanooga and I'm the house that's earwormed by Hepburn's Bunny Watson. Come sit a spell :)
edited because in my confused confusion I called Sophia Jesse.

Jesse I am 100% certain. Really. Ok now I have to look it up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If less than 42 people vote, then the issue is not considered closed, and the moratorium does not apply. Otherwise, what's the point of having a minimum voter turnout?

Sophia, my first inclination was what you said, and then I started to mind-fuck it. And of course, what Jess said.
This is why I should stop posting.
