Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on July 21, 2021, 05:38:06 PMMeanwhile, if the TNC no longer wnt to talk, there is no point in further negotiations on "cunning plans" to get monarchy reform through. Our last, best hope is now that the LCC will at least abstain on this bill, if they cannot in good conscience support it - and that the TNC will stick to their pre-election pledge to support it.

@Txosuè Éiric Rôibeardescù , I'd be interested to know where you're at on this one.  Will your party help pass the bill by abstaining from the vote?

I welcome the question, however, as we said during the election, the LCC party members have a free vote on matters of the monarchy.

Sorry, I struggle with English and french let alone talossan, I dread to add another language I cant speak to that list.

I will Abstain.

Oh yes, I had not run the maths as yet, but yes, congratulations Mr New Speaker! Now someone drag him to his new seat. xD

PS. For context, its a tradition from the UK parliament dating back to the 13th century. This was when the Speaker's function was to communicate the Commons' opinions to the monarch.

Often, if the monarch did not agree with the messages being communicated by the Commons, it would result in the early death of the Speaker.

Therefore, often Speakers took the position at great risk and had to be dragged from their seat in order to accept the post.

I Txosuè Éiric Rôibeardescù cast my ballots as such:

1. Txoteu Davinescù
2. Glüc da Dhi

I welcome the question, unfortunately, the simple matter of we didn't get as many votes as we were hoping. As we got less than the mandated maximum anyone Cosa member could hold, we felt it would be best to split our small slice of the pie in half instead of thirds.  Purely pragmatic.

If I understand Lexh H 21 correctly, there are no separate nomination and election phases when it comes to picking the Túischac'h. If members of the Cosă representing at least 101 of the seats countersign a given nomination, the candidate is chosen. If I counted it correctly, my nomination is currently at 84 seats.

Your correct, my mistake

I will allow for objections to final nominations until the 30th of this month. If Marcel Tafial remains unopposed, there will be no need for an election and will hence be instated.

The LCC nominates Txoteu Davinescu for Seneschal.

Once I realized I had lost track of time and was an hour late, I joined the meeting, though Ián Tamoran had to start his own Zoom meeting, but the first installment of Kafetegia Talossa (Europe/Africa) was a rousing success in every respect.

Ián Tamoran, Danihel Txechescu, and Tafial started things off at 2pm Central.  I showed up promptly at 3pm Central (smh), and Txescuoah (sp?????) came on at about 4pm Central.  Ián had to leave at about 4:30pm Central, and we ended our festivities at about 5:15pm Central. 

This whole thing could not have gone any better, and I can't wait for Café Talossa tonight!  Thanks be to God for self-starters Ián T., Danihel T., and Tafial!

Everything here seems to be congenial, but crossing Ts and dotting Is ...

I'm King John, and I approve this proclamation.  :-)

Thank you, your majesty.

Do we have any further nominations?

As the outgoing going Túischac'h, I am happy to take the lead of the election. Is there any future nominations?

Also as a question to any incoming Túischac'h  nominee's, do you plan on any live cosa sessions?

I hereby assign the LCC seats as thus:

@Txosuè Éiric Rôibeardescù= 12 seats
@Placiej=10 seats

I wish to stand for office in the I'etas

Acknowledged

Also it has come to my attention that along with my proclamation of names that the addition I listed as optional as to listing parties may need to occur to be better conformant with other parts of the CAG.
I will list my party as B - Balançeu/Balance
@Txosuè Éiric Rôibeardescù will you be associated with LCC - The League of Centre Conservatives again?  Last time two seats were assigned to you by name, and four seats were assigned by name of the party.  One objective in this proclamation is to eliminate confusion on voting.

Indeed

It appears that the GC it was called into being in 2003 as a form of provincial united voice. However, with senators already existing, are they not the voice for the province? All laws within them that are specific to them must be organic anyway. Do they not serve as basically as different flavours of government within the confines of the greater Talossan government. Also, are the MC whom are elected are also intended also as conduits to enact changes in legislation? If provincial governments require greater changes outside of the provincial level, would they not have to do it through official channels anyway? Being that the GC has no actual power, nor any shape or form of constitution of its own and thus no structure and the effort of governors changing that has to be their own work to make something work for them, hence no one gets involved because they don't want to do the work of creating essentially a new legislative branch of government yet with little to no mandate, agency nor power to enact anything that could not be done through already existing channels. It appears to me the idea was a little floored from the start. They where originally intended to "work together for mutual interest". "The Council will meet, upon approval of this bill, immediately to begin designing a constitution or other set of rules for self-governance" It once said, yet its true propose was never really decided.


We don't need to necessarily get rid of it, but we do need it to have a reason to exist? What shall it do? Put it in charge of something and people may have more interest in it, than merely being an extra echo chamber for already existing body's. Give them a reason to be!

Why not make the space for the governors to work together in areas of mutual interest, culture. Each province has its own culture and customs. Why not make it a cultural governing body?

Say, Put them in charge of interprovincial Sports?
An give them a set of sports to start off with, they can add their own later?
That way each province has a team to support like each city/country has its own Soccer/football/baseball club to support?

They currently exist, give them a job to do!
