It's arguable that this bill would mean Senators who didn't vote three times over the course of their entire tenure would be kicked out, which would be strange.

MCs get replaced every election (even if the same individuals return), but even when Senators get re-elected there is no equivalent "hard break" in their tenure that would cause the strikes to reset.

Quote from: Viteu on May 15, 2023, 10:07:01 PM90 people participated in the election by voting, therefore the number is 90.

No.

Abstaining is by its very nature non-participation.

The fact that it establishes that the voter was present does not change that.

Article XII.5:

The Covenants of Rights and Freedoms, being sacred and necessary to the defence of our free society, are entrenched provisions of this Organic Law. No amendment to the Covenants shall take effect unless approved by a two-thirds majority of voters participating in the referendum on the question of the amendment.


When the Org Law means to require an absolute majority, it says so. Here it does not say an "absolute 2/3 majority," so an abstention would have its typical meaning; the absence of a vote.

Quote from: Viteu on May 15, 2023, 07:51:08 PMFine. Let's do this.

Who wants to talk about how the 2017 Organic Law wasn't actually adopted?

Bring it.

Quote from: Ian Plätschisch on May 11, 2023, 04:57:47 PMGreat episode! I'd love to come on the show sometime.

Thatd be great! We are likely recording the next episode sunday afternoon (so that would be sunday morning for you). Any chance you happen to be available then?

Of course if that doesnt work we can try to schedule something a bit further in advance.

(We would normally do saturday mid-evening, but Eurovision is obviously more important)

I won't be available then but I'm sure I can find another episode later

This might be the first time ever that there are two active Talossan podcasts with multiple episodes

Great episode! I'd love to come on the show sometime.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on April 30, 2023, 11:00:03 PMThe next episode's topic, according to the votes: the monarchy and its role in Talossa. I'm going to see if I can get His Majesty to do a guest appearance.

Then I think probably another vote on the next set of topics, if that sounds good, @Ian Plätschisch ?

Sounds good to me

I think you included "Question Type" on the list of hobbies by mistake

I need to do a better job of keeping my entire head in the frame, lol

Estimat Túischac'h,

Would the Most Honourable Seneschal please inform the Ziu whether he is planning to declare a month of recess at some point during this Cosa term? The planners of the Kingdom's foremost cultural institution, the Talossan Music Top 20, would like to coordinate the timing of the 2023 edition with the next election.

By my estimation, the 59th Cosa election will end October 1 if there is no recess, or November 1 if there is.

I for one don't see a problem with ad hoc reviews. There's almost no difference between "active citizens" and "government" anyway.

So

Sounds good
