Law 1: Should Democracy Be Compulsory?

# Proposal Decision

"Compulsory voting makes about as much as sense as having the death penalty for attempted suicide," says civil rights activist Pete Mistletoe. "You can't force people to be free! You can only give them the choice. Besides, if all those derelicts who can't be bothered to get off their ass once every few years voted, who would they elect? I shudder to think."

"It's not contradictory at all," argues political commentator Larry Jones. "The fact is, if not everyone votes, the outcome isn't truly representative. Some groups--like elderly gun nuts--vote more often than others. That's why always we always end up with such terrible politicians."

"This raises an interesting issue," says Chastity Spirit, your brother. "And that is: why do we need elections, anyway? Seems to me it would be much simpler if you just decided what was right, and did it. Wouldn't that save everyone a lot of time?"

Law 2: Appointment Of Spiritual Advisor

# Proposal Decision
1
Catholic Archbishop Prudence King: boasts an excellent track record, having rapidly increased church attendances in his constituencies through the "Reaching God Through Guilt" program. Seen as a solid choice.

New Age thinker Beth Broadside: a left-field candidate with some radical ideas. "For me, it's not about the name of your religion. It's about discovering your spirituality in whatever guise that takes. Some people call that a cult: I call it taking spirituality to the people."

Finally, there's Klaus Gutenberg. "If I am awarded the appointment, I will immediately resign," the ex-schoolteacher has declared. "Because, frankly, God is a big load of hokey. I'll be doing everyone a favor by just shutting up about it."

Law 3: More Police Needed

# Proposal Decision
1
"Just the other day, I got mugged in the broad daylight!" says ruffian Jean-Paul Spirit. "And the ironic thing is I had just stuck up this other guy. When muggers are getting mugged, even I have to admit that crime has gotten out of control. We do need more police."

"The solution to crime is not more police!" says noted sociologist and occasional crime novelist Pete Falopian. "Studies repeatedly show that crime is caused by poverty and poor education. Increase government spending in these areas, and crime will fall! Maybe not overnight, but it will happen."

"Yeah, good luck with that," says conservative leader and gun enthusiast Jean-Paul Christmas. "Look, we do need more police, that's clear. But that's not enough. We need real punishments: sentences that will act as a genuine deterrent to people considering a life of crime. Like public floggings."
