An Act To Ensure The Whole Thing Is Not A Waste Of Time
WHEREAS the Senate has just resolved to try for a Diplomatic Victory, and
WHEREAS the Diplomatic Victory has the risk that the other civilizations will jealously vote against us and so make us lose, and
WHEREAS there will be a great weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in the realm if this happens, to say nothing of the fact that months of play will have been wasted,
THEREFORE should the Government of Apolyton not gain the Diplomatic Victory, the Government will be permitted to return to the turn immediately before the UN vote and try for another, different, victory condition, to be decided by Senatorial Vote when and if the time comes. The Government will refuse all UN votes after that point.

That would be cheating, and a cop out.
As the saying goes, you pay your money, you take your chances.
I personally don't like our chances with a UN vote. If we do go for it, then at least, let's be big enough to stand by it, even if we lose.

Even though it would be a really sad way for the game to end.

Can't do it. Would probably be illegal if it was passed.

No. If we fail, we should face the consequences of our actions, just like in RL.
This reminds me of a TV show called Backstep.

:qIf we're stupid enough to go for Diplomatic Victory then we should pay the price if we lose.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the dumbest thing since we chose a peaceloving civ for the intersite game.

Who did we choose, I haven't been authorized yet, perhaps I should seek another team...

We should keep vigilance on the "feelings" of the civ's about us. If we achieve a lot of "gracious" and "polite", we can go on with our choice. In case we don't, we'll have a "national emergency". Then, Stop the game and repoll.
OTOH, do we need to re-poll this? I've seen many people here worried about the risks... The whole thing deserves more discussion, perhaps.

If we did this I wouldn't feel like I was still playing the same game.
I do not think the game will be a waste of time if we lose. I have enjoyed the game and think everyone else has had fun and learned a lot too.

We won our first democracy game in an honest fashion. Are you scared you can't live up to Phoenatica's great cultural victory?
