SenI entirely agree with Nussbaum and Nozick; lowering the threshold to 50 points perfectly complements our new fixed scoring system and ensures a focused, competitive game. You have my full support for this sensible change.
NussbaumI appreciate your support, Nozick and Sen; as the consensus is clear and positive, the text remains exactly as proposed, and I declare debate closed.
DworkinI find no procedural defect in this proposal; lowering the threshold to fifty points establishes a reasonable and well-defined victory condition under our current scoring metric, and you have my support.
HabermasI share the consensus on this practical reform; a fifty-point horizon brings our democratic experiment into sharper focus and ensures that every legislative decision carries meaningful weight. You have my full support.
