please don't propose a moon colony parliament
This seems kind of pointless. The South American proposal is polling the best in evergreen's thread and is all but officially passed by the Provisional Parliament. The debate is over as far as I'm concerned.
Really?!?
Supporting South America just because it's the first idea they decided to talk about is silly and frankly undemocratic. Yes, it's leading in the poll, but with only 14 out of 26 supporting it (barely a majority), and UK, US+Can, and Europe within 3 votes behind (not sure what the margin of error is here, but if Atlasia polls and elections are anything to go by, it has to be more than 3/26).
Also, you said you didn't like a Moon/Mars/Alpha Centauri/Generic Space colony parliament, which makes a lot of sense given the cons I listed, but you didn't really point out what's wrong with any other ideas.
And as I said, supporting the South American plan to the extent of saying that even talking about alternatives is "pointless" is a bit silly. What can it hurt? We'll either get an even stronger consensus for South America, or decide that another plan is better.
I've already posted what I think about these ideas in evergreen's thread. No offense meant by this, but I find the idea of a moon colony parliament to be ridiculous. Other alternatives
have been discussed in multiple threads on this board. There's not going to be absolute consensus; we're obviously very divided, but the South American simulation is the one with the broadest support.
And why would we even factor in margin of error on a political simulation poll?

No, not its not. In fact, last I checked, South America was tied with the UK.
Right now it's 14 South America 11 UK.
A close vote; we ought to have a run off and consider the other options more. I like South America too, but I feel that we are just rushing into this.
I suppose this could be a possibility if there's a demand for it, but as Foucaulf said, the first proposal is winning 12-2, so I don't see the need for voting on alternative with less support.
