Um... not really. But, ok, since you seem to want to talk purely about the details of voting: Status quo [the "default option"] is an option, not a proposal: there should never be a ballot which consists solely of the default option. [And, even if there were, that wouldn't be the typical case.] And the default option is not even an option until after a resolution [or amendment] is introduced. That's because the default option is an option on a ballot, and you don't have a ballot until after a proposal is introduced. So far, in this context, that hasn't happened -- and, given that you don't seem to think your proposal has any merits worth discussing, I don't feel that your proposal has any merits worth discussing, either. I hope that -- if and when a proposal is introduced -- the proposer sincerely believes that what they're proposing is a good option. -- Raul
