Congress Awards - Merit Distribution
Motion #2 Exemplary activity over session, regular submissions in open discussion / comment and a desire to serve above the expected minimum required. Trial for one month, awarded by the Speaker, to begin in the session of congress following a successful vote. Request for a 40g pot held by the speaker that does not carry over between months, no requirement to distribute entire award each month, this is a fixed pot with discretionary spend. The speaker is not entitled to reward themselves as speaker or as a congress member.
Aye 5
Nay 19
Abstain 0
Result: Motion rejected
I would like to remind congress that votes are welcome to have discussion parts added on clearly separate from the vote, but highlight that a motion as voted upon is the motion if progressed by the government. There is no need to add conditions that already exist in the motion (or indeed ones that don't) as only the vote has any effect.
If acted upon, it should be remembered that any award of gold has no connection with other reforms to congress, all parties are reminded of the importance of returning active congress members, the inability to make up the numbers with active members regardless of entitlement to return a certain number will draw increasingly more attention upon those ignoring this in favour of sleeper votes.
Congress officials yet to report in
With just over a week of congress left this month, one of the outstanding 3 has indicated they're alive.

At a time when the UK's tax income has deteriorated by a third, Congress members vote to reward themselves for doing the bare minimum required.
Pathetic
Good work congress
The BP will donate all gold to poor citizen under our Robin Hood mandate
You rob from the government and give to the poor? That's what Robin Hood mandate name suggests to me.
Our mandate is to wear tight green tights in congress
Now that I would pay 5 gold for
I want to see you in green tights as well.
As a WRP congressmen I refuse to take my 5 gold either now or in the future. Donate it to the NHS or keep it in the treasury. Congress shouldn't take tax payers money as payment but I accept others right to take payment.
I remember when congress would donate the gold they got for the congress medal to the NHS.
Now they take gold out of the government's coffers as payment for typing "aye" every few days.
Total travesty.
Well all those people complaining should remember this is not the current Congress voting itself money as this is due to come in next term so therefore people have the opportunity to get themselves into Congress and vote to change this or to ensure only those who would not accept their share are elected.
thing is though paul the same people get elected to congress, so as much as id love it to spike activity...
the only good thing is its rare for all congressmen to attend every vote
I only hope we can avoid a civil war 😃
donate that to the NHS
Congress sucks \o/
Sorry, I wanted to say that it is the best \o/ And 5 gold is not enough, 10 would be optimal! Meta-Congress best system ever \o/
Gov would like to propose a Training War with Ireland.
NEIN
