I do really like the text about reopening elections. This is some good work.

It's been three days without much further discussion of this draft, so I move for a vote.

A motion to vote has been made with multiple seconds. This proposal will be brought to vote shortly.

After recent elections, I would like to revisit this discussion. I believe the new system we put into place only hurt Osiris. I support the reinstatement of plurality voting.

I don't. If we had plurality voting right now, yes, we would have a definite winner, but it would be with a lack of a majority. That isn't acceptable.

So even with how toxic and divided the majority voting system made us, compared to how healthy and tame the plurality voting system was, it's the "majority" being behind the candidate that makes the difference here.

You're calling for a redo right now within the system you support because it's such a divided, unhealthy mess for Osiris. Come on, Cormac. I understand the principle, but we tried it. It sucks. Let's go back to the one that worked.
