Also, to clarify for everyone voting (although im sure of the answer), an MC can vote for any sitting MC, it doesn't have to be the proposed candidates from what i can tell from the quotes of Org law? So can make a free choice outside the two candidates (like i have done in my second vote) named? (again, i think this is the case, just thought this would be good to confirm)

I hereby cast my vote for Ian Plätschisch as Seneschal for my first choice,
Which leaves my second vote, which i have changed, due to the SoS having a different view on the law,
So i am changing it out of respect for him.
My second choice vote is Brenier Tzaracompadra, which i cast under protest, but still cast.

Now voting is open, i vote for myself

As it has been beyond a week, nominations are now closed, and will be put to a vote before the house.
So i summon HoC members to the chamber to vote within the next two weeks, or until all members have voted
@Muhammed Yasir

I also support the nomination of Baron Alexandreu Davinescu as Tuischac'h

Thanks for assigning the seats so quickly

Now, we must nominate a Başbakan,
nominations shall be open for 1 week, then shall be put to a vote after.

I hereby nominate myself, to the position of Başbakan

Thank you, i assign 9 seats to myself and 3 seats to Aleksandr Belkin  (if any other FreeDems in the province wish to serve in the house, let me know and i will happily share some of the seats with you)

*amended to reflect seat assignment to a new member of the commons*

@Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, Esq., O.SPM, SMM and @Breneir Tzaracomprada, as the leaders of the FreeDems, and the TNC, i would ask, now the election has been certified, that you assign seats your parties seats in the chamber, as required by our constitution.

you are correct, i forgot they had to be registered parties, i knew abstain wasn't, however i wasn't sure on the ataturk, as i had forgot (and missed when i first checked) the part that they had to be registered parties, thanks for the correction!

The provisional votes for the Provincial HOC is as follows,

FREEDEMS   2
TALOSSAN NATIONAL CONGRESS   1
ABSTAIN   1
TNC   3
FREEDEM   3
ATATURK   1

Unless i am mistaken, this translates to

FreeDems:- 10 seats
TNC:- 8 seats
Ataturk: 2 seats

(if i have got things wrong please let me know)

These are of course, currently provisional, until the electoral commision has validated the election.

Until this time, i thought it would be good to start the thread for the new session and invite all party leaders to say who they would like to assign their seats to.

Hello fellow citizens of Ataturk,

Activity in Ataturk of late has been the lowest I recall seeing, especially for a prolonged period.
I would love to be able to do more in and with people of Ataturk, but that requires that im not the only active citizen in the province.
At the least id love to see more active HoC members in the next term, as i have some ideas for the province id like to put forward, and i dont feel that running everything alone is good for myself, or the Province.

The main thing i want to get done in the next term, is finally go back to working with the College of Arms on getting seals etc for the province as was started a couple of years ago now, but due to inactive HoC sessions, i felt it was not appropriate to push forward, largely being the only active member of the house (and i use that loosely)

Also I'm thinking of coming up with ideas for some competitions/events in the province, and constitutional reform.
But to be able to do any of this, we need more people to be around, and active.

So if anyone has thoughts or ideas/ wants to get involved in the next HoC, feel free to present ideas, and to join the next HoC, reach out to a political party that gains seats in the house, if you want to represent them in the province. This can be done at any time, as long as the seats are vacant, that the party hold, then all the leader needs to do, is to assign them.


So yeah, i hope that the next session, and few months can help to breath some new life into our Province

Why should people put trust in someone who operates in an underhanded way, and who doesn't have enough strength in their convictions to have an honest debate? ITs because the opposition is nothing but an empty shell front, who has the ideas of one person, who isnt at the forefront of politics, and that they have little to no intention of winning seats honestly, nor do they have a platform or policies of their own to counter ours. So if this isnt true, why is the opposition leader trying to bury our election views, and why wont they engage in honest debate?
As it just seems like their a coward on the run, who only cares about winning because they hate the FreeDem's and our Senchal nomination pick, which is ridiculous, as Miestra does more to hold together the FreeDems, government, and country, than any talossan i know. And what does she get in reward? Ridicule and distain from the side opposite, just because she presented ideas and a path that they didnt like. Do talossa a favor, and stop it, before you on the opposite side, sit in the ruins of a great country, which will be entirely your own fault.

So grow up, act responsibly, and engage in a good, honest, and decent debate, than hiding in the shadows, using underhanded tactics, and pretending you own the place, when Talossa belongs to its people.

So, once again we find ourselves coming to the polls to decide our next government, and the stakes have never been higher, with the soul and the future of the very country at stake.
Lack of immigration has been an issue of late, which has been, in my opinion facilitated by the lack of activity in the Country, which is an issue on both the Government side, but it is a lot more systematic in the opposition, which honestly barely exists, and acts as a vote suck, whilst presenting to have the answers whilst breaking their electoral promises when the opportunities presented themselves, and not forming or acting like an opposition party, than old pensioners reminiscing and complaining about past days. Which is more damaging than helpful.
If there were more ideas floating, more discussions, debates, honesty and integrity in the country, especially from the opposition parties, which besides election time are just absent, then that would go a long way to help bring more interest and activity in the country. As well as more provincial activities, and inter provincial engagement, like competitions and joint ventures, politically and culturally, which i think, will also be worth trying to implement again, although this requires effort on all sides, which is lacking, and i think this apathy is what is killing talossa, which will just get worse if the opposition gain power.

And a Key ongoing debate is the monarchy, as since the referendum which voted for changes of some kind, there have been several attempts to make reforms, and has had support from the opposite side, however, at the last minute, they back out from supporting, despite winning seats off their support for those reforms. And i hope this betrayal is seen in this election. And that the most recent measures are eventually bought for a vote and pass, as monarchy reform is desperately needed as that has been a thorn in the side of progress in talossa since i have been around.

I do love being apart of this country, and want to see it flourish, more debate, and enjoyment around the place, as that has been lacking. We need to work together, and when we have ideas of what to change, to put them forth, debate, and refine those idea's together, or argue for or against certain idea's, but this is a lost art, that needs to be revived with a competent opposition, as a government relies on these debates to bring out the best of a government.

I continue to throw my support and weight behind the FreeDems and our electoral platform, which i hope we are able to win the support of the nation to push forward, as i believe it is only with Miestra back, and the vision of the whole party, that Talossa stands a chance of recovery. But i also know that we also need an effective opposition in the next Cosa.

But regardless, Vote for the FreeDems for the next Cosa if you also believe the best chance of positive change lies in our hands.

Do the TNC have a policy of "spamming" threads on Wittenberg so as to push Free Democrat campaign messages down, without having the nerve to even respond to them?

This seems to be the case based on recent activity and evidence, which is honestly shameful
