Oui

Well, before we begin to vote, anyone have anything to debate against this?

I think we should just skip to voting.

I vote 'OUI'

M. Poiters.

I vote NON

There are pending problems in Alexandria that we need to address first (i.e. the crisis over her Majesty Empress Josephine).

Well, we need to address this as well, so please do not vote NON just because you wish to derail the process in the Estates-General.

Oui.

ANd yes York, do quit trying to destroy Alexandria at every turn.

Done. I've had it with her. Dont worry bro.

Respectfully,

Should read:

Many heads are better than one. People in the E-G may know of reasons to debate against a treaty whereas the Emp. may not.

Indeed, I agree. I'll fix it.

Respectfully,

Also where's article three?? The bill needs renumbering.
