HB 30-02: Claiming Unclaimed Land Act in the Danube (Debating)

[Joseph Cao]

With all due respect, I would not have supported the original bill to claim Bir Tawil, and I don’t see myself supporting this bill in its current form. Liberland’s claim is effectively harmless because it is one ambitious Czech politician acting on his own. The most powerful nation in the world staking a claim is another matter altogether, and while Bir Tawil was arguably located in a more unstable region I have my concerns about how this move will be justified (aside, of course, from the novelty of it).

[Joseph Cao]

Seconding the motion.

[Joseph Cao]

Nay.

[Joseph Cao]

This vote's been open for over a week. I don't think anyone ever asked to extend the vote so MB and Deadprez's votes are in doubt, but the outcome's the same either way.

By a vote of 1-3-0-5, with the aforementioned representatives voting too late, this bill fails.
