Mideast Assembly Thread

[HappyWarrior]

I question the need for an office that exists for no other purpose than to step up when and if a vacancy, either permanent or short term, occurs.

If someone could refresh my memory, though, what is the current regional law regarding the line of succession for governor? I assume there is one, and if so it involves the Speaker of the Assembly somehow.

Governor---->Speaker------>Justice---->Rest of Assembly by seniority

Thanks Hap!

Yeah, no need to create an office who's sole duty is to be added to an already full line of succession.

I could support a Lt. Governorship, but only if it was done simultaneously to reducing the number of assemblymen. I think that just continuing adding more and more offices is rather irresponisble but if it's simply replacing another office(s), I wouldn't mind serving with a Lt.

I think a possible compromise would be reducing the number of Assemblymen to 4 and creating a Lt. Governor. If there ever happened to be a tie in the Assembly, the Lt. Governor would break the tie. This would make Assembly elections more competitive, and would mean another contested election, which could potentially boost regional activity.

Don't make a Lieutenant Governor. Most of you don't remember when there was one, but I can assure you that it was abolished for a very good reason.

How's this, Nik?

I'll agree with most of the other posts here--I'll need some convincing as to why the position is necessary.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Like I said before - I probably won't support this.  I just made the words look all pretty and technical.

[Purple State]

Xahar is correct here.

In the context of the other regions, you can describe the Mideast as the developed nation amid the developing world. We have had a steady and well-structured government for quite a bit longer than the other regions, meaning many of the issues that are still unsettled elsewhere were solved ages ago for us.

Though the lack of a Lt. Governor may seem odd or counter-productive to newer members, the original decision to abolish the position was founded in solid points that continue to prevail. I encourage you to read through that discussion before voting on this.

Btw, I think I should remind you guys that you haven't finished voting on the Labour Protection Act, and still needs to vote on the resolution about the SE.

^^^^^ this. Big time.

On the final vote for the Labor Protection Act:

The AYEs are 3, and the NAYs are 0, with 2 not voting.  The AYEs have it.  The bill is transmitted to the Governor for his veto or signature.

Mr. Governor, maybe there has been a problem during the transmitting process .

And the resolution on the SE has been withdrawn, I think.


But, Mr. Speaker, I think we can keep on reviewing old laws, along the PASLBAG law.

As for me, the 3 next ones of 2005:
Mideast Election & Vote Regulations Statute
Mideast Campaigning in Voting Booths Statute
Mideast Jury Selection Statute
wouldn't appeal any remark.

Maybe you can open the debate on the 3 at once.

Why do I keep missing these things? Oh well to the signing table.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

The following three laws are brought up for debate under the rules of PASLBAG.  Due to some wording in PASLBAG (which I hope to amend - see below), we have to debate a bill even if it has since been repealed (like the first bill here has):

Mideast Election & Vote Regulations Statute
Mideast Campaigning in Voting Booths Statute
Mideast Jury Selection Statute

Since 1 of these has since been repealed, and the other 2 I see no problems with, I ask unanimous consent that the Assembly end debate on the above three statutes.


Now, as to the part of PASLBAG that requires us to discuss bills that we have already repealed, I introduce the following bill:

Slow down there.  There's not vote on the first motion, and I want to give a little bit of discussion time to my bill, in case anybody has any comments.

In fairness to Fab, "ask(ing) for unanimous consent" does sound like calling for an immediate vote.

Yep, I think I should have written "Aye" and not "AYE" .

Well, anyway, I think I've expressed a clearopinion in each case !

Until the end, this Assembly will have been busy and I'm very glad and proud of it !

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

On the motion to end debate: without objection, so ordered.


I am now bringing this to a vote.  This will be a 24 hour vote:
