Forgot to create this particular thread. Motions can be voted on at any time. Post any motions underneath.

1. The congress advises that the next government should make it a top priority that the Kingdom should start paying the web maintenance costs currently paid for by the King.

[Lüc]

2. The congress moves that the next Prime Minister should advise their ministers to focus on a single important issue each and deliver on that before the end of their term in office, rather than attempting to do multiple things at once and failing to do so.

Proposed 50 word statements

Party Statement - 49
The MRPT provides an alternative to uncompromising radicalism and boring conservatism. We want to reach across the aisle and work together with other parties to provide solutions. Our perfect voting record and tireless work in the legislature has led to much-needed democratic reform, a responsible monarchy, and individual freedom.

PER on The OrgLaw Standing Committee Bill No. 1 (Article 9) - 36
There are many small details currently in the Organic Law which would be better suited as statutes. This amendment moves many of these small details to el Lexhatx, making the Organic Law more concise and accessible.

PER on The Mandatory Cosa Lists Act and Amendment - 48
This amendment will make political parties more accountable to voters, as parties will now be required to provide voters with candidate lists for the Cosa. Voters deserve to know who will represent them, not just what party, and this amendment will ensure voters have access to this information.

PER on The Ranked Choice is the Best Choice Amendment - 49
This amendment improves the voting system used for Senate elections. The system currently in use, First-Past-the-Post, discourages races between more than two candidates and allows a candidate to win without earning a majority of the vote. Ranked Choice voting is more representative of voters and creates more competitive elections.

PER on Túischac'h Disentrenchment Amendment - 47
While well-meaning, the previous change to the process of electing a Túischac'h has served only to leave the Cosa perpetually without a Túischac'h. This amendment switches back to the old system of Túischac'h selection, while still mandating that the King consult party leaders before choosing a Túischac'h.

PER on The Joseph McCarthy Amendment - 48
This amendment rids the Organic Law of a vague clause allowing a person to be banished if he/she engages in “anti-Talossan” activities. As there is no clear definition as to what is “anti-Talossan,” this clause is easy to abuse and could be used to infringe upon individual freedoms.

Two things (but other than those they seem nice):
- "constitutional monarchy" looks weird in the 50 word statement, isn't there a better wording?
- You may have swapped the first two paragraphs re. the amendments the org law statement is underneath the party list title and vice versa

What about "a responsible monarchy"

- You may have swapped the first two paragraphs re. the amendments the org law statement is underneath the party list title and vice versa

Fixed.

Constitutional Monarchy seems like a pretty standard phrase to me. Anyway, these all look pretty good. I'll see if I have any more suggestions tomorrow.

[Lüc]

Responsible sounds better, otherwise it kind of sounded like we actually created a constitutional monarchy from an absolute one. It's just a quirk of mine, nothing major.

[Lüc]

Let me know if they're all final so that I can put them to a vote, Zane.

I have no more changes, but we could wait to see if Gluc has any suggestions tomorrow.

[Glüc]

I dont have any further suggestions. They all seem fine to me.

[Ian Plätschisch]

All of these can be moved to a vote.
