Just an FYI: tomorrow is the last day for Clarking anything for this Cosa term, so whatever the parties agree to must be submitted ASAP.

Well, you guys are wrong.  This is not where he's at.  He isn't signaling a fight, he's just agreeing to the offer on the table.  I can't speak for him, but I'm pretty sure.

I'm glad that sense has prevailed.  As we move forward with the Succession Act, please remember to take out the conditional clause before Clarking.

I've let other Free Democrats have their say, and what follows is my personal take.

I don't have any fear at all that "his Majesty will renege", that Ián I has any real interest in staying on as King. I thought I was clear - but apparently not - that it was another part of his message that struck me badly. Here it is again:

QuoteWe declare that it is our intention to abdicate our throne.  When we are satisfied that there will yet remain to our Kingdom a monarch to safeguard her honours and her majesties, we will lay down our Royal honours, and remain *very* happy to continue to enjoy the high honours we share with all of you -- the honours of a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but His Maj's declaration seems to be predicated on the Ziu and people endorsing a successor who is specifically of the same political mind as Ián I re: the role of the monarchy in Talossan life. 

My signature line, which expresses Free Democrat party policy, is "NO POLITICISED KING!" To condition the succession on the incoming Monarch being of the same political line as his/her predecessor is, ipso facto, politicising the monarchy.

Some may have a wrong idea, that the Free Democrats are chafing at the idea of a certain individual being the successor. But, not really. The consensus we have hammered out in this amendment that a 1/3 Cosă minority gets a veto over successors is an adequate safeguard against "anyone in particular". The scenario we are worried about is as follows:

JOHN I: I hereby decree X as my successor.
THE ZIU: Sorry, try again.
JOHN I: I hereby decree Y as my successor.
THE ZIU: Sorry, try again.
JOHN I: I hereby decree Z as my successor.
THE ZIU: Look, this isn´t working. Haven't you got someone who's not *ideologically* offensive to the minority? Like, for example, person A over here?
JOHN I: No. They're not going "to safeguard her honours and her majesties". Endorse a politically acceptable candidate or I'm going nowhere.

So: we worry that the succession will become a political struggle that will go on forever.

HOWEVER.

An informal poll of Free Democrat opinion shows no appetite so far for "blowing up the deal" at this point. So I see no reason why I should not Clark the Succession Amendment in time. Let it be known, though, that the outgoing King seems to have signalled an appetite for one last political fight on his way out. We hope and pray this is not what we face.

For reference I use "Goofing-About" as a positive, it's the Talossan way.
