Ok, all first round amendments with the exception of nr 14 have passed. Heres how the manifesto looks after the first round:
On micronations:
Repeal of the semi-permeable wall. No "diplomatic" relations with "bug-micronations" . Maintain friendly relations with nations that are similar to Talossa. The ban on dual citizenship limits personal freedom and might, like all unneccesary government restrictions, drive Talossans away from Talossan society
On political reform:
Party endorsement should not count in any way for Senatorial elections. Provinces should be in charge of electing Senators. Use of a preferential voting method, like Ranked Pairs for senatorial elections conducted by the chancery. Fee for accepting seats in the senäts. Only 50% of the votes in the Senäts is needed for approval of an act or amendment to the orglaw. Introducing mandatory candidate lists for cosa elections.
On the secret ballot:
The MRPT is happy with the current amendment to introduce a semi-secret ballot, but would like to go one step further and introduce a full automated secret ballot for Cosa and Senatorial elections, under the condition that a diverse independent committee has access to the admin account to monitor the elections.
On citizenship and privacy:
The MRPT does not support plans to make immigration laws more stricter in the sense that more activity or knowledge from the prospective citizen is required than under the current rules. Any contact information received from the prospective by the immigration ministry or the chancery is strictly private and may not be shared with third parties outside the ministry of immigration or the chancery, with the exception of email addresses, which may be shared with the committee to monitor secret ballot elections, and provincial institutions that have tasks similar to that of the chancery. Exceptions can be made when the information is used as evidence in court cases. The list of email addresses should be regularly updated by the chancery.
On other issues:
Stimulating and protecting Talossan culture, language and traditions. Increasing provincial activity. On the long term maybe fewer provinces. No need to get rid of the 3-strikes law. Fewer ministries. As long as Talossa does not have a lot of apolitical citizens, requiring the sos to be completely apolitical is not realistic. Protecting the monarchy.
Lets start thinking about how we can improve this thing!
