Interesting, I'll give it some thought and have a internal discussion before making decisions

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 15, 2025, 06:02:54 PMI would like to reiterate that I think this debate isn't helpful. I know that Dama Miestra, Pol, and Antaglha want to circle the wagons and defend the Government, but this is a thread about a bipartisan royal commission.
If you want to have this debate, I'd direct you here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4188.0 Or a new thread somewhere else, if someone wants to challenge the current prevailing narrative.
Otherwise, can we just let this thread alone and agree that we're going to work together to help solve the problem?
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 15, 2025, 05:40:08 PMIt's a metaphor. Last time I used the metaphor of a crumbling wall in our house, which is probably more commensurate. I apologize if this example was too inflammatory.
If you guys think that changing to at-large Senators will fix the problem, then do it, even if I object. Either you'll be right or you'll be wrong.
Are you kidding me? I just published the fifth lesson in my language series! For the last couple of months, I've been very publicly posting and discussing them and working with others to improve them.

Is it possible that you might just not be aware of some of the things going on right now?
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 15, 2025, 05:25:21 PMMy objection was to your claim that no Government has succeeded in improving the immigration rate. That's wrong. There are a lot of things the Government could be trying. (And if the Government thinks something will help, they should do it even if I disagree, and then celebrate when immigration improves -- that's electoral democracy! Try lots of things.)
But I do think this line of questioning might get at some of the problem... Antaglha, don't you like being here? Isn't there anything you like to do in Talossa?
People can learn the language using a series of new language lessons, or they can join electoral politics and participate from the start in either their province or nationally, or they can join the Coletx and do fun heraldry/feudal stuff, or they can join the Royal Academy and talk about any bit of erudition they like, or they can do their own new project like license plates or whatever, or join one of the many game competitions or music programs... I mean, the list goes on! We have a lot to offer! Talossa is great!
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 15, 2025, 05:00:41 PMThe immigration rate during the Plätschisch government was 0.44 immigrants per month. This increased to 1.14 during the 58th Cosa -- dramatically higher -- and then again increased to 1.38 during the 59th Cosa. Since then, it has dropped by 50% again, down to 0.69 a month.
Now the causes are complex, and it's not as simple as throwing the immigration switch from one Government to another. There might be all kinds of trends to cause this. I have tried hard to avoid saying that the Government has caused this dramatic drop, and instead I have emphasized that it's a failure to meet the moment and address the crisis. So there's no magic switch to fix this. But it is simply mistaken to say that "not one government has been able to in real terms increase immigration in a positive way for Talossa." The numbers are public. There are things that can be done, and things we should stop doing.
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 03, 2025, 11:43:32 AMI have accepted His Majesty's invitation to join this group, and I am honoured to serve my country.
I have been a harsh critic of the failures of this Government, which has presided over a sharp drop in the immigration rate, but it would be unpatriotic to only sit back and criticize. This is a great opportunity to help step in and fix things a bit, and I applaud His Majesty for recognizing the needs of the moment. People from across the political spectrum must realize the extent of this crisis, and rise to meet the challenge.
Let's change the direction of things, and get Talossa humming again. ¡Sà viva noastra Regeu!

Which I have noticed that neither you or AD have mentioned or responded too.
Minister Somelieir, I look forward to knowing more about these joint projects if they are not secret as the King states. I, for one, do not have enough information as was expressed in a terpelaziun and here now, to vote in support of this treaty. [Restating should it be necessary]
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 12, 2025, 04:16:25 PMThere are specific proposals for joint activities, but you won't tell us until after we've already voted?!
I don't understand the secrecy here. Finding out information about these people has been like pulling teeth, and I have no idea why.
