78 Episode 9.5: Joint council mee (1/2)
Every elderly person in other councils were sensible and full of wisdom. Displaying the full meaning of 'The older a person the more wiser he is'.
The basic topics of the meetings were mostly about sharing information of zombies, apocalypse devastated regions and supernatural beings that are popping all over the world like pimples on the face. Passing information was the sole topic of these meetings. All such meetings had ended and concluded with the benefit of all of humanity.
The most important meeting for today began. In this meeting, all the councils joined. The 200 councils of the United World government and the thousands of councils all over the world.
The purpose of this joint conference of various councils was 'Passing council bills(a proposal for the enactment of a new law) and making new laws!
In this meeting, there were only two basic rules and two important rules.
The basic rules are,
A: One organization/country can only propose one council bill no matter how many councils it has. Basically, the United World government with 200 councils can only propose one council bill during the whole meeting.
B: Only council bills will be proposed. Only the proposer can state the reasons for the bill and its benefit'. Basically, there will be no other kind of discussion.
The important rules are,
A: The approval of at least 33% of the total members participating in the joint meeting of councils is required fora bill to be approved.
B: The council's bills approved in this meeting will be enacted as a new law, immediately. It will be applied all over the world as law. It is because drastic times ask for an immediate decision. Hence, the bills approved in this meeting will be immediately enacted as laws. These laws will be effective immediately in every country.
Anyone who breaks these rules will be given a strike. A council whose members have three strikes will be kicked out of the meeting. Reasons being misbehavior and wasting time when it matters the most.
Many councils began to propose bills one by one. Many got cruelly rejected for their stupidity. While some got accepted for their sensibility and benefits. The benefits here are benefits related to humanity as a whole!
Many bills were being proposed. Most of them so stupid that Aneurin rolled his eyes. But his eyeballs didn't move as he was suffering from advanced facial paralysis.
No council belonging to the United World Government had proposed a bill. Because they were waiting for Aneurin. After all, he was in a sense, the head of the United World Government.
Aneurin stood up from his throne and confidently proposed a bill of his own.
Aneurin words stunned everyone in the meeting. For a while, only the sound of heart beating could be heard. No one believed that someone has proposed such a bill.
Even the member of the United World Government were stunned. They believed Aneurin had just wasted their only chance to propose a council bill. This bill had a very slim chance of being approved.
Aneurin once again repeated the bill he just proposed to break the still silence.
”Do you know what you saying? Can the United World Government bear the burnt your words will bring? I have heard that the First supreme is an extremely intelligent man. But now I know that it was all a hoax. You are young and make decisions impulsively. Really not deserving of your seat.” An old man reaching his seventies chided Aneurin. His words explained how jealous he was of Aneurin. After all, Aneurin had gained a status a hundred times more outstanding than himself. Furthermore, Aneurin had been working for merely 15 years while that old man had been working for his entire life.
Aneurin didn't give a reply to the old man. For the old man has smacked his own face.
'One strike for Elder Yasir of council Hyme. Two more strikes and the hyme council will be kicked out of this meeting' A mechanical monotone voice announced
The announcement caused the elder to cough in embarrassment. 'Damn, I have broken the second rule!' the elder thought. He sat down on his chair under the angry glare of his superior and mocking gazes of other participants. He didn't dare utter another word.
The elder chided Aneurin because the Bill he proposed meant abandoning every single living person inside all red-zones.
Aneurin stated this bill because he knew that no one wanted to face the consequences caused by spewing out such words. He also knew that this bill will not be approved by normal means. Because the bill literally meant, 'Toabandonmillionsofpeople still alive inzombieinfected red-zones cities, wherethereare80% morezombiesthanhumans. Basically, let fate and destiny decide whether they will live or die.' But everyone knows that there is no way of survival for a mere human against zombies that mutates. Basically, these people will surely die. Either through starvation or by being eaten by zombies. Approval of this bill meant 'letting millions of people die'.
