Europe Counterplan
Yea………..
Consult Japan
Text: Prior to the adoption of the plan, the United States federal government should initiate a process of binding genuine consultation with Japan and should propose
as its mandates. During consultation, the United States federal government should advocate the adoption of the plan, but should allow Japan to either accept or veto the plan. The United States federal government should implement the proposal as per the results of consultation.
Observation One – Competition
First, the counterplan competes through net benefits and the nature of FIAT because the counterplan can be vetoed while FIAT guarantees that the plan can’t – this means any permutation is severance out of the nature of FIAT making the affirmative a moving target which is a voting issue for fairness.
Observation Two – The Alliance
