Is there a reason the abortion bill jumped the line in front of like 4 other bill ideas in the queue? Is bill order not handled in a reasonable fashion like in order of when it was posted to the queue?
The government/opposition dynamic.
Currently the 2 opposition slots are occupied, but the government has not filled all slots.
Those 4 bills were all proposed by the opposition so until an opposition slot gets freed, they will have to wait in the queue.
Of course if any government Councillor co-sponsors them, they will be brought to the floor as government legislation
Wait, really? That's retarded. Is that just a dumb debate rule that can be easily changed or is that part of the Parliament bill of goods Lincoln got sold? I remember the argument made the weekend of the Parliament referendum was that Parliament was totally gonna be better at reducing partisanship. I dont know how many slots there are but it sounds like you are saying there can be 25 bills awaiting floor time in the legislation introduction thread and there could be open slots and only 2 bills on the floor, and under the rules none of those 25 would ever make it to the floor because the elected legislator who introduced it is in the wrong party? How in the hell is that considered good governance or reducing Partisanship? What even is the point of playing this game in Lincoln if elected legislators arent even entitled to have bills considered on the floor? I get having rules where if you already have a few bills on the floor and there are pending bills by someone else you can prioritize the new author. But to indefinitely keep empty slots open when there are pending bills is definite mismanagement. Between this and automatic adjournment is it any surprise the Lincoln government rarely accomplishes anything?
I have just introduced a bill to add more legislation slots
