Not legal, as this contradicts the No Kickbacks rule.  How about make the 
proposal be A: Fix the stock market and B: make the game changes if and only 
if C: no other kill wonko proposal passes.

Also, Wonko said, "Silliness is relative - compared to some proposals, this 
is downright sensible. [[Ahem... Proposal 591...]]" in another post.  Can 
anyone either quote or paraphrase that proposal, or give me better 
directions to find it than 'in the spoon-discuss archives'?  I can search 
through them all, but would rather not if possible.
