Nice report and good luck to everyone in the speakership election (if multiple people decide to run)!

wow

Nice report!

Great!

Flashy af mate

thx bby

doesnt rule 2 kinda mean you cant have a speaker due to the fact you have contradicted against the fact there are no game mechanic to vote a speaker in or vote one out ?

Thus i believe your own rules have worked against you and this legislation isnt allowed to pass

All this is is a written understanding between players, to have an agreed way to stucture congress. There is no game mechanic that prevents players from running meta-elections in this way. Yes there is no way to have an ingame vote on this, but there is no need for one.

Examples of the kinds of laws which congress has passed in the past and this clause is intended to prevent, are laws where congress has actively legislated against game mechanics; such as trying to force congresssmen to adhere to the decisions of a CS committee before granting it- is unenforceable under game mechanics.

Electing a Speaker and having some structure to congress doesn't contradict the game mechanics (of which there is only one, the system of voting on laws), it works in support of it.

Thanks to all for your time and consideration!

Nice job!

Voted and endorsed

Oh - and just a small observation (following the comments made during the election regarding activity)

Turnout:

UKRP> 12/12 [100%]
BP> 3/8 [37.5%]

Nah turnout for UKRP was 8/12

Apologies - my old eyes failed to differentiate between the two different shades of BLUE (at early O'Clock in the morning)...

A 66% turnout for UKRP Congress is nowhere near as impressive as 100% - but still noticeable better than 37.5%......

I'll try to mark the contrast between UKRP and UKPP blue easier to to see in the next report

What a fine chap you are!

When ESO make it back into Congress, can we have pink please?

yea okay

I'm in Congress, don't plan to vote on these things, but I'll vote this article, looks nice.

Generally this looks fine, although I'm a bit concerned that this opens the door to the country getting bogged down in swathes of unnecessarily complicated meta-legislation.

PS what constitutes a "supermajority"? 66% of voting congress members?

yeah, two-thirds.

Shouldn't lead to too much complication hopefully, it'll take congress to decide whether something is over-complicated or not, but I'm right there with you in not wanting us to get bogged down in unnecessary stuff

Can you please stop agreeing with me. It's weird.

V cool looking article my dud

I think it's a good move to have some form of Congressional legislation in place atm lest Congress forgets how to function. The standing orders are a point we should revisit (althoug it's wise to be wearing of putting up too much meta-legislation).

What is going on here

You're echoing. Are you in a cave?

I guess you could call it a cave

More like a squalid sex dungeon.

UKPP is a squalid sex dungeon?

"Shakes head" the lessons the the past are forever forgotten and mistakes are repeated. Hail Ceaser!!! but beware the eyes of March!!

"ides" not eyes.

As game mechanics contain no meta, paragraph 2 applies and all meta is auto banned

oi

if we were to make it that a congress majority meant something how would that work?
