How does this change anything from the status quo?

 

[Pallaith]

It doesn't.

 

[Comfed]

Yeah, I agree - this doesn't really do anything.

 

[Praetor]

That's a rhetorical question for the record.

 

[Pallaith]

Also, we've officially reached a ridiculous extreme on the acronyms of these bills.

 

[Praetor]

LUBEA?

 

[Pallaith]

Excuse me, sir, but this is the Regional Assembly. We strive for honourable and dignified conversation in these chambers and I’m afraid we can’t have you thinking too much about this bill’s uhm... interesting acronym ...

 

[Praetor]

Ah. Well, while I do appreciate the intent to ease things along so that elections will go more smoothly, alas, I just can't get a grasp on how this bill is different from the status quo.
