Wittenberg / Broosking Discussion.

Quote from: Eðo Grischun on August 15, 2020, 01:35:34 PM(and, honestly, the less words you use the better; just to prove how silly this particular rule is thus giving us more of a reason to scrap the rule). 
This seems like broosking to me...

Does the Interior Ministry notify prospectives of this requirement? If not, it should be no surprise that it is never met until the last minute, because immigrants do not know to be thinking about it.

WHEREAS in other countries it is perfectly acceptable for parties to abstain on a Vote of Confidence, for example, if they don't want to support a Government nor to bring it down;

AND WHEREAS the best I can figure why abstentions on the VoC have been invalid in Talossa is that KR1 wanted to make everyone be for or against him;


BE IT ENACTED etc. that El Lexhátx H.4.1, namely

Quote4.1 The Secretary of State will punish all Members of the Cosă who cast invalid votes in the Vote of Confidence; the punishment being the declaration of said member's votes in the same Clark as null and void.

Is deleted in its entirety.
The only type of invalid vote on a VoC, after the Organic reform, is forgetting to vote. Abstentions are allowed.

The vote in the 17th Convocation ended earlier today, but given this one has already started I'm not sure that carries any weight.
#832
Seeing no other nominations, I open the voting to elect Sir Alexandreu Davinescu as Grand General Secretary.

I vote in favor.

I don't have a strong opinion on that question, but in my experience every non-serious party has collapsed well before it came time to pay up.

Basic stuff is falling behind almost everywhere.

It is so easy to criticize and point things out when you don't do anything or volunteer your efforts.

We should actually give him credit where it's due on this one.

Some basic stuff did fall behind last term. Particularly, the usage of the Kingdom's social media which was woefully underused by the previous Minister, who actually happens to now be the leader of the party that Sir Davinescu now supports.
OK, while I am delighted to see the interim Government posting a ton to social media, I will not let my record as MinSTUFF be impugned like this. While my social media usage wasn't anything to write home about, it was a heck of a lot better than all other Ministers of STUFF I can remember. Since I became STUFF Minister last fall, I have made 16 posts to the Talossa Facebook page. Before that, no one had posted anything there for the past two years! The story is similar with our Twitter account.

I would not be in favor of banning provinces from holding Senate elections altogether. Perhaps we require provinces desiring to hold their own election to meet certain standards.

El Ziu/The Ziu / Org Chart Info Dump
August 05, 2020, 08:42:16 PM
In fall 2018, I made this Org Chart. The people in the roles are obviously out of date but I think the structure is mostly the same.
https://v5.organimi.com/p/o/5b6203391f0ccb00131c93fe/c/5b62033f1f0ccb00131c9400/chart?viewKey=5b6858502da19300130d979d&collapseTo=0&sortBy=role.hierarchy&topRole=&search=true&zoom=true&expandcollapse=true&chartTitle=true&orgTitle=true&breakBy=level&hideLegend=true

I have also attached a list of positions from last summer. This list and the previous versions are also available on TalossaWiki here: http://wiki.talossa.com/Government under "Full List of Appointees"

D.2.1.1 mandates formal activity reports every two months,

I want to repeal that. :D Firstly, I've never done it, I can't remember whether Ián P. before me did it, and secondly, in a parliamentary democracy this should be the function of Terpelaziuns.

I definitely did!
