Proposal 22 passes. This is because by Rule 0, there are no changes to
gamestate that are allowed to happen except in accordance to the rules.
There is nowhere in the rules that specify what happens if a player votes
LOYAL on a proposal that is not produced by a member of the Revolutionary
Party. Therefore, the votes which were LOYAL remain LOYAL and are not
changed to AGAINST, meaning that there are two votes which are FOR and one
that is AGAINST, meaning that the proposal passes.

Judgement: TRUE
Reasoning:
Game custom might possibly let me handwave it down, but
with, IMUHO, drastic damage to the game as a result. If the procedure were
case-based, and had a default clause, the situation would depend on the
contents of that last clause, but it's not, so it doesn't.
