Bill: Legalisation of Dueling
Details
Submitted by[?]: Court of Shades
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 3850
Description[?]:
| Dueling is a proud and noble sport which people of Lodamun once participated in with pride. However, since the ban on dueling, their right to participate in Dueling events has been taken away. Yes, some people abused the sport to perform barbaric acts, however this does not mean that we should ban it completely. The Shadow Alliance proposes that Dueling be re-legalized, but regulated to ensure that Dueling may continue to be enjoyed by the people of Lodamun. The poll attached shows that only 28% of Lodamun's support the ban. Are we going to let this small minority dictate the majority? Mike Darren, Shadow Warchief The Shadow Alliance Attached Poll: http://classic.particracy.net/viewnews.php?newsid=461536&nation=19 |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I'm afraid we will have to disagree with the Shadow Alliance. We believe dueling is totally barbaric and murderous and that is exactly why it should be banned completely. What this poll shows is that the majority of people surveyed support keeping it illegal. We won't be supporting this bill. Alex Gleed Leader Eastern-Central Alliance |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It appears that Mr Gleed failed basic maths. You need 50% to have a majority. Bowing to a MINORITY of 28% is simply unacceptable. Mike Darren Shadow Warchief The Shadow Alliance. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, My apologies, I didn't mean the majority of all citizens, just the majority of people surveyed in this particular poll. Alex Gleed Leader Eastern-Central Alliance |
