Suffering veto

 Every decision must not cause suffering to someone.
  (+2)
(+2) 		  [vote for,
against]

When a government decides to act or a company decides to act, they must put their decision to review,

People can raise objections on the grounds of suffering it would cause them. Then those objections must be resolved democratically.

The goal is to minimise suffering.

       Bun for the concept, can you give a scenario for example/discussion?

       How would that be? Every time a bill is passed many people suffer to some extent. Are you funding the Happy Happy Joy Joy Clinic for Little Babies and Puppies? The HHJJCLBP tax is going to take money from someone, and they will not have the money they wanted and suffered to obtain, and will not have the opportunity to make themselves happy with that money.

Are you recognizing the We All Love Chocolate day? You've not only bowed down to lobbyist pressure thereby corrupting society to some degree, but you're probably funding some kind of government action with the same stroke of the pen. And what about the people allergic to chocolate? Will they appreciate the banners and smells?

This idea is so naive it hurts. [+/-]

       With the help of special training, lobbyists could employ people whose particular sensibilities were such that they experienced acute suffering at the prospect of any deviation from whatever agenda the lobbyist was being paid to promote.
