       Dardo I'll support your bill should you remove Article IV. Out
       of a region of over two hundred less than one hundred are
       actually on the forum. An even smaller number are on the forum
       under there actual nation's name. I propose that we make Peunt
       the permanent inspector of elections since he is the most
       neutral. He will be in charge of making sure that the elections
       are fair as well as being the collector of write-in ballots for
       the 153 nations not on the forum. By only allowing a small
       minority to vote you are discriminating against the majority of
       our population. This goes inherently against your purpose stated
       in the beginning of your bill. I understand the point you are
       trying to make by saying that puppet nations can vote twice
       should we have a write-in process, but your forget that this
       problem is not solved on the forum. As I stated before, most
       nations on there are not on there under the name of the actual
       nation and it is not hard to create multiple profiles on the
       forum. By only allowing a small minority to vote in elections
       you are creating a voting oligarchy which goes against the
       principles of New Republica. New Republica is based on the
       concept of Freedom. One of the hallmarks of Freedom is freedom
       of choice. You are inhibiting that freedom by forcing people to
       join something that they have chosen not to do, for whatever
       reason. Further, by only allowing a small minority to vote you
       are inhibitng the potential activity of numerous nations, which
       in the long term may force NR to shrink. I ask you to compromise
       with me on this issue.
