Um... not really.
But, ok, since you seem to want to talk purely about the details of
voting:
Status quo [the "default option"] is an option, not a proposal: there
should never be a ballot which consists solely of the default option.
[And, even if there were, that wouldn't be the typical case.]
And the default option is not even an option until after a resolution
[or amendment] is introduced. That's because the default option is an
option on a ballot, and you don't have a ballot until after a proposal
is introduced.
So far, in this context, that hasn't happened -- and, given that you
don't seem to think your proposal has any merits worth discussing,
I don't feel that your proposal has any merits worth discussing, either.
I hope that -- if and when a proposal is introduced -- the proposer
sincerely believes that what they're proposing is a good option.
