Quote: As for the "blocking" aspect, yes Article VIII will prevent future attempts at minimum wage laws (which I oppose anyway) or living wage laws (which I support, but how would you mandate one for the NSUN?). My fear was that someone would write such a proposal, a well-meaning, but seriously flawed minimum wage proposal for instance, give it a catchy title, and then figure out how to TG it to quorum. I wasn't happy about including Article VIII, but considered it necessary.[/quote]
This bothers me.
I don't like the idea of blocker clauses. If it gets used too much, then a resolution on any possible topic would be blocked. I suppose blockers could even be construed to block repeals.
This sort of meta-game reasoning is contrary to the spirit of the game, and individually I would vote "no" in the poll. I will follow the will of the majority as Delegate, and I'll adjust the total to reflect any changes (such as Mik's) but personally, count me as a "no."
edit At the moment then with Mik's vote change the tally is 5-5-1.
