Abstention

Paws were counted.

Abstentions were bowed into the ledger with Barnaby's hand.

Sterling announced tallies.

The motion passed by a margin so small it resembled neighbors arguing about a hedge.

We don't think the outcomes of democracy fulfill our goals as a society.

And the main consequence of that is that Abstention is going up, turnout's going down, and we are reaching patterns and standards of turnout similar to the ones we observe in countries like the U.S., where vote's not mandatory, right? As if Brazilians were like, you know what, there's nothing that we can do to change for good.

They're more aware of what's happening.

Against, 1.

Abstentions, 6.

Draft Resolution A-80-L-104 is adopted.

This was the sound of 164 countries voting to challenge a map.
