SENATE BILL: Party Hard Amendment (Failed)

[Napoleon]

This is a pretty straight-forward reform. The idea that three people constitute an organized political party is ludicrous.

Glad that the Labor Party has come around on this. I fully support this amendment.

Objection

[Napoleon]

Why should the Registrar General be required to recognize parties in the first place?

Tradition

[Napoleon]

Why is it our tradition? What purpose does it serve?

Its a tradition because the whole point of this thing is to organize into groups and win elections. This is a formalization of the registration process similar to how the US operates.

[Napoleon]

I disagree with the premise that the point of Atlasia is "to organize into groups and win elections."

You can't really disagree with that premise, the history shows us that traditionally thats what Atlasia is and was founded to be. You can see things that way now, but that isn't tradition

[Napoleon]

So what? The game changes. We don't need to preserve a practice if it no longer serves any purpose. Which is why I'm asking: What purpose does recognizing parties serve?

For the purposes of balloting and other necessities: is the RG supposed to rely on a shoddy network of self-organized labels when determining what party to list someone on the ballot as?

And I've in the past proposed requiring candidates that weren't in organized parties to have to petition for ballot access. It didn't pass but it doesn't mean it should be constitutionally prohibited for the future.

[Napoleon]

"Which, as of now, is what this amendment addresses"

Ok, pal. You asked and I answered. Perhaps you should be more refined next time.

I'm done here, this is just contrarian nonsense

[Napoleon]

No no no nononononononoononononoonon

NAY

[Napoleon]

Aye

[Napoleon]

So why are we voting on this amendment? Seems like its just delay for the sake of delay from an undistinguished senator...

Well, I doubt Spiral could distinguish himself more than missing FORTY PERCENT OF THE VOTES in the last session like you did.

Obviously I'm not talking about Spiral.

[Napoleon]

My nonvoting was a form of expression.

[Napoleon]

I just introduced a bill clarifying our laws for human clones.

What have you done lately?

[Napoleon]

I find it quite odd that TNF is going after Napoleon so hard on inactivity, considering he has expressed multiple times that he will give his first preference in December to Xahar, the least active Senator by far.

Dick buddies?

[Napoleon]
