Hey guys, super genius here. I haven't wrote an article in a while and I need something to help me procrastinate (only 7 exams to go!), and then I saw the perfect subject to write an article on. Most of the eUK wont know but tomorrow Congress will be voting on making amendments to how we choose our dictator in the eUK. We currently have a dictator voted on through referendum, under a system that is working perfectly fine at the moment. Although I doubt this new act will pass, I am taking my time to explain why I believe Congressmen should be voting 'no' to this act.
Let's State The Obvious... Our System Is Fine
I haven't heard a single complain about how Woldy is doing as our dictator at the moment (or maybe I forgot), and if there has been in has not made eUK media so we can assume nothing major has happened. The population seems happy with the dictator that they voted in through referendum so it is safe to say that our current system is working well. The vote tomorrow will change us back to a system that failed for us in the past and our country was affected badly by it.
Our previous system was to pass the dictatorship title from one elected CP to the next. That system failed when one person (who is now redeeming themselves) decided they did not like to new CP so passed the title onto their friend instead. That friend was a trusted eUK citizen, but they did not follow the rules of the eUK and eventually went on the steal the treasury. Most people around at the time will remember at it caused major outrage in the eUK. Do we want that to happen again? Shall we take the risk, or stick with our working system?
It might look nice, but it has claws...
Our People Should Be Voting For Our Dictator
That title read on its own make no sense in several ways, but the one that people will think is that our CP is voted in, so the title makes no sense. But that isn't my point. Congress is here to make the decisions on behalf of the eUK but when they choose to make a decision as great as putting the total control of the eUK in the hands of one person the public should have a say in how we choose that person. Should we stick with our current system or let the CP become the dictator each month? The public should decide.
When we moved to our current system we held a referendum, well, a lot of referendums... and we also held a referendum afterwards to choose our dictator. All these referendums are pointless in my eyes if we are going to allow 39 people to overrule everything, the general public should get a say. Even if you want the CP to be dictator, we should go by what the majority of what the eUK wants and a referendum should be held. That is providing the people want a referendum on a change of the system.
And now you have to pick your side, I know which one I would pick...
That's All Great Cheetah, But What Are You On About?
Well, Congress will be voting on an act tomorrow that was proposed by King William the Great. I wouldn't have heard about it if it wasn't for Addaway's excellent article, and I hope this spreads the message even further. Here is the act in full:
Dictatorship Reform Act
1. To give a reasonable period of transition to the new system, Woldy will remain as Dictator until the next election for Prime Minister, at which time the newly elected PM will join the Dictator's military unit and be given full control of it.
2. Whenever a new PM is elected the current PM/Dictator has 24 hours from the end of the Election to transfer control to the next elected PM.
3. To prevent a 'BigAnt' scenario from occurring again, any Party President who nominates a candidate that violates the elected Dictator law by refusing to relinquish control of the placeholding military unit when their elected mandate has expired, or who steals government treasury money will be put on a permanent blacklist along with the PM who committed the criminal acts.
4. A two/thirds majority of Parliament will be required to classify a Dictator as a hostile ruler, at which time action may be legally taken to depose him.
5. Any attempt to remove the Dictator through a means other than electoral reform law through Parliament will be considered a criminal act.
6. The Dictator will make every effort to respect the democratic voting process of Parliament in all decisions made barring a national emergency
Read it and determine your own opinions, I would also like to add that the third point does not actually prevent anything, only serve justice (if you want to say that) afterwards. There is not a lot we can actually do to prevent these things except find the best system possible.
I have a strange feeling it will blow up in our faces... hey, it's Ellie!
Let's Throw A Few Amendments In To Mess Cheetah's Article
As Congress usually do, a crazy amendment has been proposed to push back the voting on the act by 24 hours. This amendment proposed by Aaron Mark Daniels will be voted on tomorrow instead of the latest dictatorship act and will see mass outrage as I edit my article but also possibly see the act proposed by King William the Great also see him not ever become dictator. So what is this amendment? Here it is:
Amendment:
1. Remove clauses 1 to 6 on the act
2. King William the Great can never be elected dictator.
3. If King William the Great is elected dictator then Aaron Mark Daniels gets to tickle the entire population of the eUK with a stick of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.
4. Congress Will Remain Actively Seized On This Matter
Well, it is quite clearly a troll proposal and I don't expect it to pass through Congress. Firstly, King William the Great is extremely unlikely to become dictator at the moment as he does not have the knowledge or popularity to get the position, so there is no need for this law at the moment. Secondly, I don't want to be tickled. Thirdly, the matter that Congress must focus on is not well defined and we may need another amendment if this passes. I don't expect this act to pass but we will never be able to predict what Congress will do.
Aaron prepares for the fight over his amendment!
And that concludes my message to Congress and to the public. I do hope that Congressmen vote 'no' tomorrow and at least respect the will of the people, if we want to change the system that puts total control in the hands of one person, at least make sure the whole of the country gets a say. And yes, if I was in Congress I would be saying the same thing...
How will it end? Will there be a sequel?

This article looks boring, I'll throw some gifs in soon.
Added the new Bad Blood gifs, and Meredith!
an eighth of the voting public is hardly the will of the people.
In fact this law will do just what you say.. the people will decide who will have this power, and no PP will dare nominate anyone with ill intent due to the consequence they'd face if they did....
What do you mean by this:
"an eighth of the voting public is hardly the will of the people."
And this law means we are deciding that our public get no say in how we choose we who becomes the dictator. Since we have the choice (between a working system and a failed system) I believe that we should let the public decide. My point wasn't about who gets the power, it was how they get it, something which was decided on by the public before.
's government treasury money will be put on a permanent blacklist along with the PM who committed the criminal acts.' - How would you enforce this blacklist? a PP could still become a PP and propose whoever he likes. What would happen if a blacklisted person won CP?
From a constitutional point of view I feel like this Bill raises more questions that it answers; and the fact that it doesn't include a repeal clause for the Constitution would mean we would be left with two directly contradictory systems running at the same time!
Simple. We would launch unified ATO operations against blacklisted individuals.
The words 'simple' and 'ATO operations' do not belong in the same sentence. Following that route would just cut deep wounds in our community that don't need to be inflicted.
Why do you think that democratically electing a dictator is less preferable than simply vesting absolute power in one individual?
Well firstly, you have chosen a false King to be Dictator. 😉
And it's boring for everyone else. Let the people decide.
The harsh provision is just in place so PP's don't nominate a total berk. It's a stern warning that hopefully will never have to be enforced.
The people decided to vote Woldy as dictator, I'm confused what you want?
'Let the people decide'
er, that's exactly what congress decided to do?
So why have you proposed this exactly?
Because he is running for CP and needs to make himself dictator too?
ugh
Your proposed system just doesn't work King Willy. Why are PPs getting punished? Also having a dictator who is also CP will mean it's herder to get rid of them if they decide to be a dick. A revolution is needed and then an impeachment. This way why is much safer and it works.
Personally I reckon bills need sponsors before they can even be discussed as currently do one else has supported this and I reckon the general support would not be for this as shown by CCs article.
Sponsoring is a sound idea
I'm full of sound ideas
Do some legislation Sambo... I reckon us two could do more than the whole of Congress this term 🙂
(if we weren't so damn lazy)

Legislated.
I hope that goes through Congress!
It'd better.
I support it !
tl;self-suicide
ffs the People decided woldy
40 people not many really
did you forget the election we had, in which the people voted between appleby and woldy? you know the nationwide one
If you don't think it was enough and can find a suitable replacement, then just get them to collect 10 sponsors and we can have another referendum. People can challenge Woldy at any time but he is doing a good job so I don't think anyone wants to.
Do you want me to edit my article to talk about your latest amendment proposed to Congress?
if you want 😉
Done!
I quite like that Woldy guy, that him be... everything is going so fine for now.
/me starts building the cc pile that makes this all irrelevant
I dare you!
I'll wait for your contribution to start things off

personally i think the amendment is better than the act proposed
not a troll, im serious 😉
If i were in Congres....
i agree that having a the CP as dictator is a bad idea however, the point of not changing the current system because its "fine" is not a valid reason. we should be looking to improve anything and everything possible to ensure that the UK is not fine but a great country
Never heard of the saying "If it works don't fix it"?
so say you just started a new job. you live quite a while away though, but not to worry as you have your old reliable Peugeot 104. its a bit rusty and it can only go a max of 35mph but i works nonetheless. it takes about 2 hours each way to get to your new work, 4 hours a day. but your new work has this scheme where if you live more than a certain distance away, they will pay for a new car for you to help you get to work. they see your rusty old thing and so they offer if you would like to join this scheme and get yourself a lovely new Peugeot 208. its nothing special, but is a whole lot better than your old 104, it's faster, more comfortable, looks nicer, has electric windows, cruise control and so on. but rather than saying yes to getting this lovely new car, you tell them "Never heard of the saying "If it works don't fix it"?" and you politely decline, despite the fact the car is a mass improvement on your current one and it would mean your journey would be cut in half, giving your more time with family, relaxing on the sofa with a nice cold beer, masturbating or whatever picks your fancy.
would you really do this and decline the offer, despite the massive improvement on your previous vehicle? my guess in the real world would accept the new car because, i mean, who wouldn't? if it's an improvement, take it. things won't get better if you just sit there say "well that thing is kinda shit, but it works so we'll just leave it".
Scarfar I understand your point but there are 2 points not 1 in your example. Yes the car works so you won't fix if that was it, but your journey to work is the 2nd issue to consider in the overall scenerio & that doesn't work so you would have to remedy your journey to work.
We should look to improve things but moving back to a system that failed in less than a month without really adding anything to fix that problem isn't going to help.
i agree, i even stated right at the start of my comment that i think it is a bad idea. but my point is just because it's fine doesn't mean it can't be improved which is what you implied in the first point. instead the first point should be "this would be a step backward" or similar.
The actual paragraphs are where I explain the points, and I talked about how the previous system failed. Are you talking about the bits in bold? If you actually read all of the points in bold, none of them really make much sense as arguments for voting 'no' 🙂 This was a test to see who read my article, you failed...
Voted.

What happens, if this bill does somehow pass, if, like in the case of King William if he is elected, the party president and the President/PM are the same person?
Well I guess they are double blacklisted! Lets hope Congress discuss it.
Well written article.I"ve it makes sense your article,
