With one vote in favor and none against, and two members absent, the Electoral Regulation Act passes.

I call for an immediate change to the Life Party charter which contains an error preventing members from disposing of their shares in the Life Party. The charter must be changed at once.

I propose this wording, "Life Party members agree that they will not sell or distribute in any way shares of the Life Party to non-members. Upon withdrawing from the Life Party, all the shares held by that member must be returned to a Life Party member. This is a legally binding agreement. By being a Life Party member, you agree to these terms."
Remember the Ovy! My Final Announcement

Psychological Health Warning: Many people have reported strong feelings of anger, irritation, and annoyance after reading Ovybia's politically incorrect posts. We apologize for this inconvenience. If you are experiencing these or other related symptoms, we recommend taking a glass of water and contacting your keyboard immediately with your fingers, as these actions usually help relieve the pain. If the pain is not alleviated within 2-4 minutes, as a last resort, one could always become logical.
The preceding prescriptions were carefully selected by experts after extensive research on the subject; the prescriptions mentioned have been proven to present the highest possible cure to death ratio.

Ovybia, that was no error.

"I propose this wording, 'Life Party members agree that they will not sell or distribute in any way shares of the Life Party to non-members. Upon withdrawing from the Life Party, all the shares held by that member must be returned to a Life Party member. This is a legally binding agreement. By being a Life Party member, you agree to these terms.' "

I'm not quite interested in going ahead with that.

EDIT: Besides, we haven't the authority to do so.
