But as per the much lower numbered rule 32, "...the proposals that have
received a majority of affirmative votes out of all votes they received are
deemed to have passed. The others are deemed to have failed."

32 takes precedence; 601 fails.

You could propose to fixe 631, but if you do then I'm turning all my props
into club props that repeal the club rules as soon as they're done so I can
get props in easily.
