it will keep coming up until it comes to be. that is the whole point. the powers interested in this will not tire out unlike all of us who will eventually not pay attention or organize in time.

There should be increasing fines for each time this thing is brought and rejected. It's costing public money having to defend this crap every damn time. Say a fine starting after anything is brought (and rejected) more than 5 times. We're very much well over that limit. They've been trying for over 20 years now.

well, so far it hasn't been officially rejected, as there wasn't a formal vote. it kept being postponed because the parties introducing it weren't sure about getting a majority approval.

And then when it goes catastrophically wrong as everyone has predicted for decades of course "nobody could have seen that coming" will be the next big lie those very same politicians who pushed it through will tell everyone.
