It's hard to come up with a majority decision when only two judges are present, (meaning it has to be unanimous) but we we're finally able to agree on a detailed report on case 001.
quote: It is the opinion of the court that while the election polls for the January cabinet of 2003 came close to violating the constitution, they were in fact legal election polls despite the absence of the abstain option. The Court reasons that the writers of the Constitution wrote the abstain option in the yes/no type of poll so that those who do not wish to decide one way or the other on the question may vote for abstain so that it is mearly shown that Lemuria has a vibrant voting population. An election is decided soley on whether a candidate receives more votes than any other candidate, or if running unopposed, more yes votes than no votes. All abstain votes are ignored when deciding the election.
Furthermore, the Court believes that the authors of the Constitution wrote it to benefit our
nation, not to hinder its progress. Throwing out the election results would cripple our country's progress and leave us leaderless. Such a power vacuum would prove dangerous for our small country. The Constitution is not a suicide pact, and the Court has decided that ultimately, its duty is to the country. |

And people - go and nominate for the next elections!

well, this election certainly won't be easy. but think of the opportunity to debate your personal theory of how the court should perform. a powerful, influential court. or a weak court that establishes few precedents for the future. There's no right or wrong answer, its more about your own beliefs and convincing others that you are correct. uncontested elections aren't much fun, it's fighting for the votes, the ability to shape the game that drives me.
For me, the fun lies not as much in the actual game and how it is played but the interaction of all of us. And being a judge is probablly one of the best ways to interact with everyone, to make an impact on how we work together.
