OK people that's the raw numbers, to do with as you will. I think that with at least 20+ people voting in each poll we have a good barometer of public opinion on the subjects being debated. I'll step back now to let people post their comments on this thread and where we go from here.

Happy Demo-Gaming

Yay. So in my poll, 1 nation 1 vote wins by a narrow majority....But in Honghus poll, 1 person 1 vote wins by a mile.

Which do we go with?

Your poll is for UN voting conditions while HHs is more open. Perhaps we do need another poll.

I've edited the results to indicate Archaic's "Abstain" for the University.

Polls are what make life bearable... and what show us that the UN isn't that far off from what everybody else would do given the situation. -1 efficiency and all.

They might be fun, but it takes a great deal more than that to make life bearable

This is helping me immensly in understanding why the RL politicians are always talking and not doing anything.
