Councilor Tusk, I am not disagreeing with you. Not only will this bill antagonize the UNSR with no benefit, but I find the motivation of this bill beneath the dignity of Europe. We see Councilor Granger calling Socialism "the opioid of Europe" or something like that and we have other Councilors masking their ideological chauvinism in "the UNSR is undemocratic" tap dance. No matter what our opinions of the UNSR are, you all should honestly be ashamed of yourselves to cynically use our institutions in this fashion. At least Councilor Granger was honest in her motivations.

However, Councilor, perhaps the most pressing issue at hand within this bill is the precedent it sets for what controls Europe has over how nations can conduct business. Without the ability of nations to not even be able to recognize governments and conduct diplomacy, the very notion of Europe being a union of sovereign states is shattered. Sections II and Sections III, in order to secure a Europe where the people determine their own fate, must be removed. Surely even someone like yourself, Councilor Tusk, would not be so willing for your country to give up its sovereignty just like that whenever a Commissioner and a dishonest Councilor pleases?
