[Parliament] 30th June-1st July Session
Speaker of the House
Good morning gentlemen,
A hearty congratulations to ML on winning the Speakership. It has been an honour to have served our community Parliament the last 2 months and whilst there have been a few routine headaches I hope I leave the job slightly more mollified than I found it.
If you haven’t accepted his friend request then do so promptly so he can re-make the Parliamentary threads.
As a last act I note some MPs simply cannot get along in the same group – if you drop Michael a message with your grudge he may be kind enough to help you avoid them!
Speakership Elections
Michael Ludgate – 9
Dougal – 3
As per convention I require some of our more bulky MPs to force ML into the Speaker’s chair. I’m sure the whole House will join me in wishing him the best of ‘legislative luck’!
2nd Malta Committee
As always it’s great to see people still interested in doing a proper jobsworth for a change. Members of this powerful committee will be ‘steering and scrutinising’ Government now more than ever….
Should have the thread up shortly after this publication.

Bear in mind even if you win you won’t get a penny until Parliament gives the nod!

2nd Malta Committee
This is all getting out of hand
You might as-well set up a shadow government and each member of government being held for account
New term, new committee 😃
fail to see how a numerical denotation is the straw that broke the camel's back 'ere
This is what congress are meant to be doing or do you just want to be on my committees for the sake of it thinking your more powerful than the rest in congress
What did they do last month?
being active generally does indeed make you more powerful as a group yes
I don't see why you're against those in congress willing to do more than what's expected
lol! most of the major proposals came from Malta discussion bro
should've signed up to join if you want to see it for yourself rather than just flinging shit everywhere
What major proposals?
Can I blame the committee for our poor showing in resource wars then ?> useless how many monkeys does it takes to run a virtual online game and FAIL; JUST SAYING
#Waffle Waffle Waffle Cap locks was on as I stand up typing I have a few computers here no rage going on silly billy calm down
I wasn't in congress and you must feel silly. When you lot on #IRC do as you please did no one even have an idea to use CO and all the money they Hide, the people losing out will be the country I saw we made 28,000 one day yesterday it was 6000 i think it might go to 8000/9000 after the dust sets but this is still losing the country 50% tax a day x that my 365 and its a huge lose not to mention the fact it very inconvenient for our supplies now I have 300 companies to move .
What is worst is no planning I speak to others who countries knows what they are doing and we dont .
pretty much everything bar the 'nod system' filtered through malta
bullshit bro
how do you know if you weren't even on it?
DID YOU GIVE THE NOD TO RESOURCE WARS >? USELESS
resource wars predates the malta committee
your abuse of basic logic is stuff of legends dapper
NOT ABUSE POINTING OUT FACTS THAT YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS CONGRESS WAS STILL THEIR AND YOU DID NOTHING - AS YOU HAVE NO CLUE ADMIT IT NONE OF YOU DO , EMBARRASSING
TAX 50% DROP TODAY
ah caps lock, the last refuge of the certified idiot
and yeah rather difficult to work out economic changes before they're actually released by the admins - why don't you read some of our sodding MoF reports?
That is why iran and many small countries done better than the fools who sit on IRC like you , you will never admit you are useless and have no clue but the figures will prove it, you think 70% 25% 25% is good its failure on a large scale a fish scale
given you were also in mongress that term does that make you 'useless and have no clue' by default?
As no one listen to people who are non irc their is no point , Was I in congress?? or was i writing drop the dead donkey articles? about AMD failure
To be honest you've never helped out or even offered beyond the usual whining in the several years you've been 'ere
You may think you're not being listened to but lol, what are you actually contributing other than permanent victim mentality and the usual CAPS LOCK rampage when people get bored of it and call you out?
Appreciate your efforts and your good humour.
Congrats ML!
is their really only 16 congress ?
how did you work that out?
you list 6 new member and 10 returning members, 6 + 10 = 16
Read the header '2nd malta committee'
Thank you Sir Humphrey Appleby, I'd like to reiterate the appreciation of your service that is evident even to someone only in their 2nd term of congress. Your counsel is always welcome and I'm sure you'll return to the post in the future.
As Speaker, I'd like to make a point of addressing first, as it so vital to our legitimacy, the issue of internal congress relations. Whilst I have no desire to introduce formal speak to congress, I will pursue those with flagrant disregard for others. Congress is not the place for either petty attacks, squabbling or character assassinations. The country is watching and it hinders both progress and enjoyment for those us who partake in the political module. Everyone should feel valued and free to share and discuss.
The groups will be re-established this evening, your patience is appreciated. Lastly I'd like to point out that while it's my job to be impartial, it's no longer Appleby's; I pray you'll benefit us all by enjoying this freedom.
Further details will follow in congress closed discussions.
Woo
Good luck ML. Be wise, patient and ruthless 😉
Yay ML!
Submitting provisional budget
Predicted income ~£7,000*31days = £217,000 (highly volatile however, will update more accurately after a chat with Huey)
Predicted expenditure ~£120,000/£190,000 (11 MPPs peacetime, 18 during hostilities). Request additional authorization for use of £70k emergency MPP budget in event of war. Potentially 10k for the MoHA depending on the stability of tax income.
