On further thought, I don't think ultimately it should be possible for a bill to be defeated without enough members to defeat the bill in the clark actively opposing it.

Still like the compulsory committee idea, although there should be exceptions.

If it gets clarked in its current form I will vote against it, but either way I will come up with some suggested amendments in August.

I'm not too fond of the separate votes idea if there isn't any option for amendments in between. Already the Ziu seems unlikely to reject a bill after flaws have been discovered, because 'it's been clarked now anyway and doing it again takes too long'. If it takes two months to pass a bill, the pressure is only going to become greater. It also means that the effective deadline for getting something done in a cosa term is earlier, which might just lead to a bigger rush to finish a bill. That wouldn't be a problem if there is still room for amendments after, but without that it just seems pointless.

BUMP. I'm minded to Clark this unless I get any feedback on specific amendments. I've spoken to the Túischac'h and he likes it.

What bill are we talking about here exactly?

Congratulations to the new cabinet!

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on July 21, 2021, 05:38:06 PMa) the KLüP was not prepared to actually put their flagship policy into action at this time; (b) after a week or two of delays, we found out that no-one had actually asked Lüc da Schir, who actually does not want to be King of Talossa. So that went nowhere, and the KLüP's voters might wonder what they actually voted for.

Well the first part of this is an egregious lie. The KLüP (which is not Lüc) would be more than happy to make Lüc our King, preferably in a backroom deal without an election, as the coalition generously proposed.

Sadly, the part about Lüc not currently wanting to be King is true, at least at this moment. I guess he is the hero we need, but don't deserve. In the KLüP's defense though, we never claimed he did. (As our campaign mails noted: "Lüc da Schir is not responsible for the content of this advertising.") I still dream of the day Lüc returns to fulfill his destiny. Perhaps a bigger mandate for the KLüP next election would help convince him.

I'd have to abstain as well I'm afraid. I applaud the attempt at expanding the Cézembrean culture, but three languages is probably enough, especially since I'm not aware of any Cézembrean citizen who actually speaks Breton.

I was disappointed to see Danihel Txechescu not being assigned any seats, despite being on the candidate list. What happened?

Each party gets to nominate ONE person.

What is the reasoning behind this interpretation?

Reluctantly, the seats of P are assigned to myself.

Thanks to Sir XPB for organising the election.

1. Iac Marscheir
2. Dixhet Fira

I'd like to register the Partisan Party (P) for the upcoming Etats elections.

Thank you.  May I list your name as associated with the Party on the ballot, or is there some other individual to name in this hybrid style of a party list?

Well my argument is really that according to the constitution " Each party will receive a number of
seats, equal to the number of high quotients it received.
Each party may divide its seats amongst Cézembrian
citizens as it sees fit.", so you could add my name to the ballot but then in my view I could still assign these seats to someone else (or reassign them if I were to resign as Mol'E), even if Im not planning to do so.

I'd like to register the Partisan Party (P) for the upcoming Etats elections.

Fwiw, I would strongly urge the coalition parties NOT to make any internal agreements on who should become Túischac'h, and any MCs to sign/nominate freely. This is one of those things any functioning democratic Cosa should decide for itself and it should not be decided for in shady backrooms.

For context, the way this works (I just looked it up and was very surprised) is that any MC can nominate someone, but nominations have to be countersigned by a majority of MCs before the nominee gets elected.

Also, you only get one nomination/countersignature, but it can be retracted and given to someone else. And we just keep playing this game until a majority occurs.

This is all in Lex H 21

So any takers on the above nomination?

Marcel makes a good point in discord.

I therefore nominate Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial as Túischac'h for the 56th Cosa term.
