Ahhhhhh, no it has no story behind it other than I appreciate the Esteemed IKEA product known as Blahaj.

I was at one time, don't know when the wiki was updated. I didn't run in the last election (for a couple of reasons)

Grült méirci, estimat Secretár.

¡Estimadas es estimats Democrätsen Livereschti!

As Party President, I am laying a single item on the agenda for this Party Convention: the following motion.

Quote

• That this Convention of the Free Democrats of Talossa hereby endorses the formation of a new party, provisionally named l'Uniun dels Reformistaes Livereschti (URL) whose membership shall be that of the Free Democrats combined with the membership of el Partì da Reformaziun (PdR).
• That the provisional Constitution of the URL shall be as provided in this text, with the provision that this text may be amended by the first Convention of the URL.
• That upon passage of this motion, and upon passage of an equivalent motion by the PdR Convention, the Free Democrats of Talossa shall cease to exist; this convention shall be adjourned and instantly reconvene as the first Convention of the URL, with the addition of all PdR members. Miestra Schiva will be provisional chair of this Convention.
• That the first Convention of the URL, in addition to the other tasks mandated by the provisional Constitution, shall adopt a political Program for the new party.

Under Constitution article V, this will require affirmative support of two-thirds of those voting.

There is no firm deadline for this debate/vote, given that the PdR will have their schedule too and there's no point going too far in advance of them, and given that this is pretty irrevocable and I want everyone who wants to to have their say.

Once I call a vote, again under Constitution V, you will have three days / 72 hours.

Questions? Comments? Suggested amendments? Alternative motions?

As previously announced we are pleased to announce the first entry in our mid-term review of the Government. This follows up on our Opposition Report Cards from last term which were an effort to provide clear instruments of review for the average Talossan voter.

We will start with the Avocat-Xheneral (Ministry of Justice). @Dr. Pôl dal Nordselvă

The Green Party has been the only party to submit enquiries to the Avocat-Xheneral during the 61st Cosa.

To level-set, we need to review the words of the Avocat-Xheneral in answer to an enquiry from the Green Party concerning his goals for the coming term. His words from May 19, 2025 are as follows:

Quote from: Dr. Pôl dal Nordselvă on May 19, 2025, 05:29:01 AMAs Attorney General, my focus this term is on strengthening the legal infrastructure of our Kingdom. I aim to: Collaborate on clear, foundational legislation;
Streamline legal review where possible; Promote legal understanding among citizens; Provide impartial, principled legal counsel.

Before commenting on any progress, the Avocat-Xheneral has referred to a case of pneumonia and a job search (which he reports has been successful which is welcome news!) as instances where extenuating circumstances have affected the timeliness of his responses. We acknowledge and thank him for his forthrightness. We seek information useful for the Opposition's vital role to hold the Government to account but we do not seek to create any additional hardship.

Unfortunately, insofar as we can ascertain, there has been a spotty record of activity from the Ministry of Justice.

Based on the answers to our enquiries and a manual review of contributions we are unable to identify much public contribution of note on proposals from the Government concerning reforms to Organic Law or Statute. As an example, the Seneschal published a proposal for Organic Law reform on April 14, 2025 concerning "At-Large Election of Senators." The discussion included members of multiple parties, the King, and the Secretary of State with exactly 50 posts over two months none of which were from the Government's chief legal advisor who has described a part of his work as "collaborating on clear, foundational legislation."

Our terpelaziuns have tried to give the Minister the opportunity to describe private activities but no details of any concrete behind-the-scenes action have been announced.

We have also noted inconsistent contributions to the CRL from the Avocat-Xheneral as well.

Finally we note, so far, that the Avocat-Xheneral is the only appointee to have not participated in the proceedings of the Royal Commission on Immigration.

Since we are at the half-way point in the term there is still time to right the ship. And it won't take much, really: a little more participation in the CRL and some activity to address the initial goals he set out a few months ago. We urge Dr. dal Nordselva to marshall his focus if this is a role for which he has interest continuing in.

At the request of the Party President, I declare our July 2025 Convention to be OPEN.

Party Leadership will in due course post the agenda for all the proceedings.

Thanks, all!

GV, Party Secretary

Madam Minister @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir I'll hold back for say a week and then try asking a terpelaziun as this is important to me. I wanted to try unofficial channels as I've already asked you one terp this month and I know how some have found the quantity of terpelaziuns to be annoying.

Quote from: Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir on May 25, 2025, 05:06:53 PMI see no issues with this and would support this

Neither do I.  I'm good to go.

Quote from: Blahaj on July 14, 2025, 05:51:08 PMThe idea behind it is that it represents a "new solace" for people who's governments don't have their best interests in mind.

No, *your* name :D

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 14, 2025, 06:03:06 PMI fixed up our a wiki page a bit.

I'll do some more on it in the future, but I think it's pretty solid now.  Let me know if I went stray anywhere, or just pop on and add in what you think might be missing.

I see one issue, I am no longer a senator
