I wish to stand for office in the I'etas

The LCC wishes to reinvigorate the program, widening the scope of the agency to allow for more fundraising and donations to GTA charities to help our Cestour's, as well as fundraising of government-sponsored projects like the building of satellite's (which can be already done for $75 to build). This may involve many interesting events such as pub quiz's, song contests, athletic's events (sponsored hike's for example) to name but a few.

Just one day left, make sure you have voted and we may just make Talossa stand tall again!

6: a man who moves all the way across the board and is crowned and then can move in any direction

This will be one of the top priorities of the League of centre Conservative, a vote for us brings us closer piece Talossa you can hold in your hands.

I must say that the pledge of "we won't make more changes to the Monarchy unless King John makes us angry again" is not very reassuring, because the FreeDems are often made angry by him (for some good reasons and some bad). Therefore it would not be hard for them to motivate taking away more powers if they were so inclined.

The proposal is meant to make it possible to remove the King without removing more of the Monarchy's powers.

"LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK"

Polling day is upon us!
This election will definitely be one of the biggest on record! Lets us vote for Talossa to Stand Tall Once more! Vote LCC!

Sorry :3

Thank you. I have updated your Cosa list and party URL for the ballot.

Sorry to do it again but needs must. Removed MC 3 and updated updated 50 word statement.

I have updated your information. Thank you.

And that's just macro-nations, elected monarchs are very common in micronations.

Also leadership changes style all the time in our nation... It's a good job we are no longer a fascist dictatorship (yes I read our history)... We evolve.

Balançeu / Balance believes there should not be a change to an elected office called "King" similar to a President (such as occurs in 12 other global countries such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Burundi, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Syria, and Tajikistan every 7 years).

Good sir, doth thou ever hear of the holy roman empire? or the kingdom of Scotland? or even the Byzantium? Dutch Republic? Poland Lithuanian commonwealth? Ever heard of the pope? Andorra? Do you know what they all have in common?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elective_monarchy

You do understand that except for Andorra in the modern era (and that as a side-effect of France abolishing its monarchy in favor of a fixed-term presidency), all of your examples of "elective monarchy" there are cases where the monarch was elected for life, not for a limited term? Much like, well, the current King of Talossa was elected?

You missed one, the pope, modern day, still a fully fledged nation.

I am aware that they are for life, I was just pointing out elected monarchs are a thing.

I also missed San Marinos captain regents who are 6 months terms.

Xpb lists nations who have presidents who are elected to there positions. I list nations who have had elected monarchs, both history and modern day.

What is the reason behind the six month delay between a failed "VoC" and the second convening?

Essentially to stop the process from going to quickly: if the King happened to become briefly unpopular around the time of the vote, the waiting period would prevent him from being immediately replaced, and makes sure the decision is well-considered

Six months is an entire Cosa term. Remember that Talossan politics happens in "dog years". Three months is surely more reasonable.

I think that also the point, It removes the incentive to remove the king purely for political gain.

As has been pointed out by a prominent Talossan, the term "king" has been applied to so many different sorts of positions that are selected in so many different ways that it's essentially meaningless in a technical way. But it's typically used in a colloquial manner to refer to an office that is, in general, as distanced as possible from partisan politics and which is invested with some certain amount of power. For example, if you were to tell an American citizen or a German citizen that their president was basically the same as a king, that would be taken as a comment implying that they had a lot of power outside of normal electoral politics.

Think of it like "food." In some places, they consume foodstuffs like cicadas or grubs as a matter of course. And that's absolutely fine. I'm going to hunt up some cicadas pretty soon myself. But if you invited someone to dinner and only served them grubs and cicadas, odds are pretty good most people would be upset if you hadn't explained beforehand! That's not because it's somehow wrong to eat cicadas and it's not because cicadas are "not food" by a technical definition, obviously. But there's a ton of things that qualify as food to someone at some time, that nonetheless don't come across as expected "food" to most people these days: mice, guinea pigs, dogs, rotting shark, etc.

So if someone says that the proposal would eliminate the monarchy and institute a presidency, I think it should be pretty clear that they don't mean it in a technical political science sense, right? Language is about communication, and they're trying to communicate that the idea of "king" means something more specific than "word we can use for just about any possible position in a government."

I'm so sorry but I do not understand the point... cicadas.... food... Monarchy?

Also I would like to attempt at creating a audiobook for this? May take some time but it would help with its accessibility.
