I would hope the Senate rejects this bill. It will cause more problems than it will solve and it's a pretty pointless measure anyway.

(Again without Marokai's vote now that he has resigned.)

One more vote in favor is required for passage.

Vote nay. Think of the cluttered and ugly ballots.

Ballots won't be ugly or cluttered. It would ultimately be up to parties and candidates. I think that a ballot like this:

Mechaman
Atlasia Reform Coalition
Jesus Christ Party
Democratic Alliance

Vepres
Independent
Progressive Conservative Party

Would not be cluttered or ugly, instead, it will allow voters to be more informed and help democracy.

I think it ought to look more like this:

[ ] Mechadouche [Mechaman]
Atlasia Reform Coalition
Endorsed by: Jesus Christ Party, Democratic Alliance

Not intrusive or cluttered at all.

All it does is give voters a better feel for what is going on, rather than digging through 30 page conventions looking for who their party endorsed.

But why does it really matter, honestly? I voted nay on this before I resigned as Senator because I didn't see why it was necessary or all that useful. The only way it would influence votes is by influencing people who vote purely by party tags.

They are elites who oppose freedom. Maybe?

Maybe voters should have to take their own initiative to find our who parties endorse. A law like this, it seems, would only make the required minimum involvement of a zombie voter even less.

Zombie voters are activated PMs. Ask Dear Leader bgwah. This has nothing to do with zombies.

No, I don't believe that there is a zombie problem; I'm just trying to sway Hashemite.

So, you're using an argument you don't believe in?

I think it would help Hashemite to have the Jesus Christ Party listed under his name in February.

Honestly, I don't see the problem with fusion voting. It's not bad or wrong, and I fail to see the harm in trying this.

And I fail to see any relation between this and the zombie issue. Zombies vote for a candidate, not as much a party.
