Region: Thaecia

If you want to be the region's President/WA Delegate, then you need to be committed and that starts out by having your WA nation in the region you want to lead and represent in the WA. This is not about expecting a high standard of excellence from our WA Delegate, it is the simplest of commitments one can make to the region and its 240 WA members. Also, by waiving the WA requirement for the WA Delegate (sounds stupefying, I know), you're also opening up a pandora's box to conflicts of interest where you could literally have someone control our Delegacy along with that of another region using their actual WA nation. This will literally open up the way for those who want to take advantage of our WA voting power with no regard for the region itself. There is little benefit for anyone to gain out of this. At best, this is a well intentioned proposal that is based on idealism but not grounded in reality of how this game, and especially how WA representation, works. At worse, this is an attempt to open up the Presidency to those who seek to influence Thaecian politics without showing the least bit of commitment to the region.

For those reasons, I urge a vote of Nay/Against/No on the upcoming vote regarding this.

I fully agree with all of this. If you want to be the President, the delegacy is 75% of the job. You need to be able to fill that spot if you're gonna be president.

I will also be voting nay in the upcoming referendum.
