Motion from cabinet, up for discussion for 24hrs from now. As usual, feel free to voice support, but a vote will be called separately after discussion period.
Congress to discuss a request to appropriate 100k cc country funds for investment and establishment of a UK commune. Please note that while discussion about the merits of communes is permitted, the vote/your responsibility will be for the allocation of funding.
Details as Presented
The scheme (two aspects) seeks to invest part of 100k of unused funds, expecting a steady return on such, where remittance is weekly. In the second, use of the remainder of the 100k fund in establishment of a commune which offers competitive rates and faster returns than the private market.
This scheme has been match funded by private investment which guarantees the government cannot lose any money.
There will be regular reports about the progression of this venture.
Proposed benefits of the scheme
- Using Idle money.
- Weekly profits for the Government.
- Wealthier citizens.
- Better sense of community and engagement.
- No chance of risk for the government.
Clarifications Provided
The investment can be reclaimed by the CP at any point, the commune side might take a month.
The private investment comes from players who require ongoing access to short term loans.
Address the MoE, in this article with any questions. As usual non-congress may voice an opinion, but it's down to availability if cabinet members choose to respond directly.

'Details as Presented' would've suggested you would of presented actual detail not a list of soundbites backed by no evidence.
The idea was to present detail to congress and debate and discuss there. Part of us all working together as a community. Asking each other questions.
Lets lead the eUK to a brighter future together! 🙂
Still waiting for the detail
[removed]
This is not a new format. Cabinet makes a proposal via the speaker to congress. As a non-security issue is has open debate to allow for people not in congress to chip in and get an idea about the intentions.
Discussion in the congress threads is as always entirely optional and permitted, with the obvious point that citizens are left, until leaks, to wonder if congress is discussing it.
Not a comment on the cabinet, but note that details as presented is the initial information supplied in the proposal. This may have varying amounts of detail from a single word request to pages of verbose reasoning. It's not my job to re-write beyond assisting the flow of reading for the benefit of our discussion, nor to water-board cabinet into answering questions before the motion is formed.
When I write the motion and ask some initial questions to help the flow of questions in a wholly bi-partisan fashion, the answers I get are clarifications. These may not represent full or all of the questions answered, their may be more information or less, this is the nature of the Speakers role when interfacing between cabinet and congress as a whole.
Cabinet have a right to expect that the Speaker will handle and bring forth motions with haste, for this I'm supplied with basic information and where missing request as a minimum that which allows me to make an informed assessment of the security risk, and the time required to call and pass a vote. This further demands that I don't attempt to 'cross t's and dot i's'.
This is weirdly Meta game for a country that voted out the Meta xD
Ludders is enjoying himself and not forcing it on anyone else, so meh... let him get on with it.

Voting is public, congress members please comment below usual rules apply, Aye or Nay. Vote ends 20:00 18th January, majority required to pass.
Nay.
Also, can I take selfies in the lobby, Mr. Bercow? Um, I mean Mr. Speaker 😉
Also Nay. Given the lack of a plan, and also the rather small amount of money involved, and also the dependency on a favourable government... This seems unstable.
A privately run scheme would be more suitable.
nah
more detail required for tax money to be used.
nay
For the newer members who don't know communes are a way of making the owner of the commune rich off the efforts of the workers. The only fair way is to increase the minimum wage and reduce taxes.
It's interesting to see another attempt at meta (disguised as discussion) rear it's pustulent head
Work taxes are already at the lowest possible level, and despite how this has been advertised it isn't actually a commune.
Minimum wage is pointless. No one willingly scrolls past the 1000cc offers and takes up the 10cc offer. Leaving it low allows people and groups the freedom to do as they please.
Vote period is over.
Aye's zero, Nay's four. Nay's have it by four votes, Nay's have it.
Motion Govt. Commune Investments rejected.
Bah, the lack of people voting really is sad.
You'd think given the level of incompetence in congress there'd be more activity... 🙂
