[President] The tale of two MPP's
•
by Myers11
Now, there have been many articles criticizing the current government, and the lack of an opposition.
First,
“The government and congress sign an useless second MPP with Russia.”
I fail to see what the government’s role was in this, they had nothing to do with this, and I feel you should not under any circumstances include them in this. This MPP was proposed to tie up Russia’s gold in their state accounts, because the Russian CP did a rage-quit, attacking many countries, activating many MPPs. I, along with many other countries did this to prevent an attack on Poland. The other countries’ congress easily struck down the proposal; however our semi-inactive congress (or semi-active, whatever) without reading the forum, or questioning why there were 2 of the exact same proposals within 2-3 days of each other. They simply, without reading the http://www.enetherlands.nl/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5858 forum passed it blindly. Congress needs an extreme activity check, and I would greatly appreciate if all parties elect active, contributing members into congress; not 2 clickers, or people who want the metal or the treasure map. (No matter how worthless they are now)
Second off,
“The government lets an Hungarian MPP that has several activated wars expire although the majority in congress seemed to support continuing it.”
Yes, the majority seemed to accept it; but how can you be sure? There was no forum vote, and therefore, I did not propose it.
Today I was on the IRC at #eunl when I saw Coolissport post this link: http://www.erepublik.com/en/Netherlands/law/37500 I was, frankly, surprised and appalled at this. I clicked the debate link, expecting a long forum post, or an extremely long debate, only see Mitch's article about 2 MPP’s and the lack of an opposition to government. I do not think an impeachment is called for when one person writes an article about the inactivity of the country, and an opposition to the government.
On a related note; the Rus-NK wargames will start very soon, no need to worry.

First denied, and get active!
The impeachment button should not be a "wake up call" as Markus Bell called it. This is a great misuse of congressional powers and I really disappointed by it. I do not see anyone tried to officially addressed the gov in forums etc. Just saying nothing happens and using the impeachment as a wake up call is really disappointing.
First, why are there no battles, we have a MPP with russia, and they host the training wars. I guess our president doesn't have any knowledge of this, or is to afraid to ask to the north koreans, the russians or Phoenix why we are not profiting from these battles that are going on between Russia and NK, whilst we paid for them.
Second, as I allready said before, there are certain rules that state that the president can start vote's before a forum vote is held. So called emergency procedures. I think an MPP about to expire, and with that several opened battle's for us might be called an emergency, given the fact that we would have had battles from them if we didn't have it expire.
I am afraid or do not have the knowledge to try to get the TWs going!? I have been working very hard at this, and the TW's have started, although Russia, did not activate the MPP's, leaving out half of PHX.
Also with the current events i don't think NK will attack Russia to activate MPPs any time soon. Don't blame the current government for the lack of TWs - in the end its Russia/NK who have the control over it.
Well, they could at least make a deal with russia/NK, as the battles they are currently fighting are paid by us as well as bye them..
Now on the subject if we can get a TW. Yes we can but again we need leadership. If you dont say anything in #ihs about it and dont bother the people in charge they will ignore you.
Can i point out that there 5-6 countries that currently have a MPP with Russia but no TW. Ever considered talking to those countries? I think Russia might be a lot more likely to attack FER if you point that out. And maybe remind Hank, romool and Waffles that they owe us a few favours.
Yes, the majority seemed to accept it; but how can you be sure? There was no forum vote, and therefore, I did not propose it.
Lol and that is the problem. How can we find out if people dont support if you dont start a vote. If congress doesnt start a vote on the forum why dont you, yourself? After all that is what LEADERSHIP is called.
It is a shame i see a lot of passing the bug going on at the moment but no one taking action.
Oh and i think it is inappropiate the MoD org is used for giving political comments on a political article. The rule always was that MOD orgs shouldnt comment on articles because that can get you banned.
If congress doesnt start a vote you cant propose it, if congress starts a vote you cant propose it until its finished, if congress thinks of a vote you can or cannot propose it depending on how anal the congress members want to be that day, if congress has been tabling a proposal but then gone inactive and not debated it for a few days you can only start the vote if three goats have been sacrifices to BAAL.
Mitch... congress in this country is a joke, much like any politcal moves we are pretending to be doing these days. Anal, overly obnoxious and never right. I'm amazed this country is still standing.
Precisly why a President should be a leader and propose things Stein.
I was starting to think eRep was dead with the nothing to do for so long
>This is a great misuse of congressional powers and I really disappointed by it.
It is a congressional right and may be used whenever someone feels like it.
