Quote from: Amendment to the Party Organization Act of 2018
Sections 1a and 1b of the aforementioned Act shall be amended as follows:

Quote
a. A party of under six (6) shall be a 'minor party'.

b. A party of at least six (6) members shall be a 'recognised party'.
Even I have a better chance at passing than this does, but this is what I was talking about in the Peace thread.

Partially based off of pending legislation in Lincoln (or at least inspired by such):

Quote
No University that receives Atlasian federal funds or intakes Atlasian students may participate in varsity athletics, or award scholarships based on athletic talent.

No Sports League, based on Atlasian soil or outside Atlasia, may send Scouts to any school in Atlasia.

Intramural Athletics shall remain permitted, provided the students in question do not receive scholarships for their athletic skills, and teams do not charge for attendance.

This bill shall be effective one year from the date of passage.

On behalf of the State Department, I'm going to publicly appeal to the PPT to not allow this bill on the floor; reason being that running these types of proposals without the consent of the Canadian government would disrupt our efforts to renegotiate NAFTA. A similar proposal prompted Canada to threaten to pull negotiations last year, and if this causes Canada to walk away for good, all that time and effort spent negotiating and renegotiating will have been for nothing.

On behalf of the GM Team, I second this request. We were not consulted about such legislation, and we'd very much appreciate such legislation being run by us first so we can properly simulate the outcome of said legislation, which we can't do if it is sprung on us by surprise the way this was.

Throwing my two cents in as to this bill: Terminate Cyberdyne Act

It is logical (so to speak) for people to be wary of the capabilities of AIs.  After all, we've always been told that someday, they will replace humans in many positions.  Nevertheless, I don't think playing to fear by passing a bill such as this is a good idea. 

And has anyone considered the possible benefits of AI? It appears to be quite useful in terms of curing "writer's block", and suggesting new ideas.  One could even claim that it is helpful in the area of comprehension, and clearly stating what someone means to say. 

Also, if someone wishes to use an AI to help them write bills, etc....I really don't see anything wrong with that. 

Depictions to the contrary notwithstanding, AI is not a "Manhattan Project"; that is, you won't find anyone quoting Oppenheimer when speaking of it (see reference below)

To summarize, I believe that the passage of this bill would do more harm than good, and I urge its defeat. 



REFERENCE: In a now famous interview, J. Robert Oppenheimer (he of the creation of the atomic bomb) once said that upon the first successful detonation, he thought of a line from Hindu scripture: "now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"


PS: For those wondering, I wrote this myself, without any assistance from AI.
