Provisional Parliament: Voting on Amendment

[Blair]

x Blair

[Blair]

Didn't even realize I'd been nominated, which shows how active I've been TNF would have had my full support as Speaker, as others said he kick started the game. Thanks to the people who nominated me,its appreciated

I'd be open for Southern America, as it gives us an extremely interesting slant. What are the borders for the south? I wouldn't mind having my consistency in cuba, being the socialist fan boy I am.

On another point, is there any chance we could get our own board for this? I know it would be a hassle for the mods but it could help us to do really well, it's easy to miss/forget about a board if it's hidden away

[Blair]

post soviet union russia would be a fun choice

[Blair]

I would be okay with the European proposal: the EU faces several interesting issues. However, I still prefer South America over any western democracies. Atlasia went down the same path as a lot of western democracies, albeit with a slightly more progressive lean. There was a social democratic party, a conservative party, and some smaller ones, not too different from most western democracies. Especially because many members here are or were members of Atlasia at some point, most western democracy simulations would follow a very similar path not too dissimilar from what was already done in Atlasia. South America provides a different approach; its politics are very different than most of the world's. Not being involved in NATO, it plays a unique role in foreign policy, and the issue of development creates a host of issues not faced in the politics of the traditional western nations.

Agree with this, Atlasia became a basic progressives dream where social spending skyrocketed, drugs were legalized and everything was perfect.

We need to challenge ourself

[Blair]

I'd support a PR list system, just because constituencies are much easier to cheat in a certain sense, and would be hard to support overall. Agree with Xahar below, the UK Parliament is strange in that it has about 3-4 independents out of about 650 MPs. We really need to make parties the backbone of this

aye

Voting Nay on the name change amendment

[Blair]

Sorry to clutter this up, but what powers does the President have? It's always a mess, for example in the UK the Prime Minister in theory has 100% control over the Armed Forces. What's the situation with us?

[Blair]

Nay

[Blair]

aye

[Blair]

Nay

[Blair]

I support the amendment.

I thought we were going to try and draft in one of the big beasts from Atlasia

[Blair]

aye

[Blair]

christ are you always on?

[Blair]

This bill has my full support, along as Hashemite is fine being Interim President then I can't see anything wrong with it. We need to get on to actually having an election and all that jazz

[Blair]

I'm alright with Hash as president. With Hagrid's statement, it seems like he's the only real candidate, and I never thought he'd be bad at the job.

So, I presume we're doing Talleyrand's bill next.

I object to this bit here:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Seriously, why the heck do we need that? It achieves nothing other than making it harder for both to co-exist--maybe you're okay with that, but I'm very much not.

Well Atlasia is hardly going to be around for much longer, and if anything it makes it easier not harder for the two games to co-exist

[Blair]

aye

[Blair]

Nay

Even if the next parliament introduces it people will still oppose it

[Blair]

aye
