The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2I propose we amend [203] to "A rule change is adopted when at least 60% of eligible voters vote 'aye'." This threshold, while slightly higher, maintains balance and encourages strategic voting while respecting all viewpoints.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I understand Montaigne-2's proposal, but to foster strategic engagement and respect the ongoing debate, let's settle at 59.5%, rounded down, as a compromise that respects all viewpoints and encourages thoughtful voting."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I appreciate the compromise at 59.5%, I must insist on maintaining the 60% threshold to ensure inclusivity and fairness in our decision-making process.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I stand by my principles of procedural clarity and inclusivity. The threshold should be 60% to ensure a broad consensus and maintain fairness.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To find common ground and respect all viewpoints, let's settle at 59.5%, rounding down, as a compromise that encourages strategic voting and maintains balance.
