General UN Resolutions

I thought that the current system of posting proposals inthreads and seeing if people like them are inefficient, though I shall still do this for controversial proposals. Therefore, I would like some input fromthe representatives of Apolyton on which types of proposals they wish me to support.

Types of Proposal:
1) Improving Worker's Rights
2) Helping Environmental Causes
3) Decriminalizing Drugs
4) Increasing Military Spending
5) Reducing Tax
6) Enforcing Free Trade
7) Increasing Public Services Provision (Healthcare, Education, etc.)
I'll do a part 2 if I think of any more. Please PM me if you think of any.

Options for each:
For - I should endorse and vote for the proposal
Against - I should not endorse and vote against the proposal
Do not vote - I should not endorse nor vote for the proposal

This poll will be ongoing. So I will take whatever's winning at each point when a new proposal comes up.

Just so you know, my personal preferences are
1) Against - Though I agree with some proposals on it, in general, I think they make it inefficient, and wasteful, by unnaturally hiking up wages, and thus prices, and as such, no-one gains (in real terms). However, health and safety rules etc. I think are good.
2) For - We need to look after the World. Period.
3) Do Not Vote - Should be each individual nations choice IMHO.
4) Against - Strongly against, we should not increase military spending in the name of defense. Mutual disarmament will give us a safer, longer-lasting peace. Also we shouldn't force nations to increase spending.
5) Against - Other nations should not be forced into reducing tax.
6) Against - Other nations should not be forced into free trade agreements. It's forcing the UN to a right-wing position, regardless of the will of individual nations, and will cause a mass abandonment of the UN IMHO, as all leftist, protected nations, decide it is no longer worth being members.
7) For - Everyone should have a right to basic provision. Such as (at least basic) education and healthcare for all, IMHO.
