2nd Parliament of South America

[Simfan34]

Mr Speaker, I am honoured to accept nomination for Speaker.

[Simfan34]

Thank you, members, and thank you to Mr Barnes for his service. I shall avoid any pontificating on my part and get on to the business of this house. Order!

We shall now consider the motion introduced by Mr BaconBacon96, namely:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I open the floor to all honourable members to speak on the proposal.

[Simfan34]

Is that an amendment from the honourable member from the Socialist Party?

[Simfan34]

Is this amendment friendly?

[Simfan34]

Very well. Does anyone object to the granting of leave on this motion?

[Simfan34]

Seeing no objections, I declare that the motion is hereby with unanimous consent.

We will now consider the Prime Minister's motion for a vote of confidence in the Government.

I open the floor to all honourable members to speak on the proposal.

[Simfan34]

Very well. The question is on the motion moved by the Prime Minister:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Division!

[Simfan34]

With the vote 8-5-3, the motion is carried.

[Simfan34]

The petition is accepted by the Chair.

I hereby declare that Xahar has vacated his seat and that said seat has been filled by the Socialist Party with Mr. Bore.

First Reading -- Update on the Industrial Relations Act

Seeing that the honourable member from the Socialist Party has given his speech for the first reading, I will now ask if we have a seconder.

[Simfan34]

Amendment Stage

The Government now has twenty-four hours to propose any amendments to the bill.

[Simfan34]

Since there seems no input whatsoever from our government, I guess we can progress to the third reading, Mr. Speaker.

That is in order. Division! (24 hours)

According to law, all parliamentary business is suspended and we have less than a week to hold a special session to elect the president. This is an illegal action.

I have looked at the Constitution and cannot find this. It neither specifies that the presidential vote takes precedence over all other business nor does it state that we must do so immediately-- merely that the special session shall last no longer than a week.

[Simfan34]

Also, to the honourable member and all members, please introduce notions in the government or private member's bill threads.

Thank you.

[Simfan34]

The Ayes have it!

The bill is passed. I will post the formal count later.

[Simfan34]

I will introduce the motion in the appropriate thread.

[Simfan34]

Looks like this is the appropriate thread to debate the motion. Very well.

I move that this house enter recess until the fourth of January.

Any seconders?

[Simfan34]

Very well. Does anyone object to the granting of leave on this motion?

[Simfan34]

The motion fails.

[Simfan34]

I have heard no objection from the floor? How can such be interpreted as failure of the motion?

No statement of support was given. We can try again.

[Simfan34]

I hereby declare this house in recess!

[Simfan34]

I hereby declare this house to be back in session!
