The current resolution at vote in the General Assembly, Debtor Voting Rights, should not be passed. It's yet another pretty rude effort by Imperium Anglorum. Here's why:

This is clearly I.A. just trying to add another "We passed this!" to its name.
Despite criticizing people for "badge-hunting", IA is clearly doing the same. IA shows its hypocritical attitude here by trying to pass a poorly thought-out resolution using its cronies and the WA elite.

I.A. mocks the WA in a particularly snarky way.
I.A. has been criticized in the past for writing proposals that the majority of the World Assembly doesn't understand. Now it tries to pass a one-line resolution. That's fairly insulting, if you ask me.

This resolution is fundamentally flawed.
If a man is incarcerated on the sole count of his debts, he is, in fact, incarcerated. His voting privileges are denied of him given his imprisonment. If a member nation is now suddenly barred from "invoking a person's debts as reason to deprive that person of the right to vote," what happens to the incarcerated man? Is he allowed to vote while his inmates are not? He must be, since his debts can't deny him the right to vote and the only reason he's in prison is because of his debts. Or, alternatively, is he set free, completely undermining the criminal justice system and societal order? Or, is he not actually afforded a vote because he's in jail and the criminal code is upheld - but he's only in jail due to his debts, so then what must happen is...

In short: this resolution is obnoxious, disrespectful and vague. It does NOT deserve your vote, and neither does Imperium Anglorum, who should, if anything, apologise to the WA for playing this silly little game.

Thank you for your time,

The Elector Menshchikov Alexei Igorevich
