I'm happy to accept Antaglha's amendments in principle - I'll try to streamline the language a bit for the First (real) Clark, unless anyone else has suggestions

Pursuant to the Constitution of Fiova 3.1 and Standing Orders 7, I officially nominate @GV as Provincial Túischac'h (Chair of the General Assembly, in charge of carrying out the Standing Orders).

All citizens have 7 days to vote PER, CONTRA or AUSTANÉU on this.

Estimated results with different-sized Cosas

41 seats: LCC 5, FreeDems 17, NPW 2, TNC 4, Balancéu 7, Dien 3, KLüP 2, Tafial 1
21 seats: LCC 2, FreeDems 9, NPW 1, TNC 2, Balancéu 4, Dien 1, KLüP 1, Tafial 1
15 seats: LCC 2, FreeDems 6, NPW 1, TNC 1, Balancéu 3, Dien 1, KLüP 1

15 seats would therefore be the point at which 2 votes wouldn't get you a Cosa seat. Something to think about for those inclined to Cosa-size reforms.

I am sad to announce that @Adam Grigoriu has expressed his wish to resign as Interior Minister, having found that his heart really isn't in politics. I am happy to announce that cxhn. Grigoriu has expressed the wish to resume his former role as Permanent Secretary for Immigration.

To whit, under El Lexhátx C.1.1, as Seneschál and acting Minister of the Interior, I recommend to the King that @Adam Grigoriu be appointed to the role of Permanent Secretary for Immigration, with a job description as follows:

QuoteProcessing requests for immigration to Talossa, which includes:

    Sending form emails to immigrants
    Posting applications and approving new Wittenberg accounts
    Terminating applications and disabling accounts
    Updating the database of immigrants and new citizens
    Other duties as directed by the Minister of the Interior

Interested parties are welcome to contact @Txoteu or @myself and we'll see where this goes

HA HA HA HA lolwut?

The FreeDems did better than I expected but not as well as I hoped. I am surprised that Balançéu didn't do better with their vigorous campaign, and that the TNC and Dien did so well. I would like to congratulate the LCC on sticking to their principles even though taking an electoral beating for it; and commiserate with Marcel T on getting an extra vote and his whole shtick being ruined. Glüc and Eric also certainly existed :D (just joking guys, I love you, well done)

The four parties who supported the Historic Compromise as contained in 55RZ21 got 120 seats, short of the 2/3 majority to push it through. However, as mentioned before the election, discussions have been going on with the monarchist parties and I think there is still a good chance that Talossa will choose its king, this term - in one way or another.

As for the Senäts, the result in Cézembre is unexpected but gratifying: the result in Florencia is hilarious, but I believe since one of the candidates is also Florencia's premier, he gets to break the tie in favour of himself :D

Free Democrats have a mandate to take the lead on forming a new Government, and making Txoteu Davinescù the new Seneschál; but there needs to be a lot of discussion before we finalise who will be in that government. I don't get a final say in anything, but I'd really prefer a Cabinet of People Who Will Actually Do The Work this time - which might include people from all across the political spectrum. We shall all see.

I am informed by citizen B. Higgs of Fiova, who is an IT professional, that there is a problem with SSL injection (or something like that?) with the automated Chancery emails, which gets them trashed by Gmail accounts in particular. I see that a majority of those who haven't voted yet have Gmail accounts. It may well be that Gmail spam detection has been "souped up" since the last election;

Could I get more information? If I do, I might be able to fix it quickly.

I am informed by citizen B. Higgs of Fiova, who is an IT professional, that there is a problem with SSL injection (or something like that?) with the automated Chancery emails, which gets them trashed by Gmail accounts in particular. I see that a majority of those who haven't voted yet have Gmail accounts. It may well be that Gmail spam detection has been "souped up" since the last election; if so, this means that bugs in the National Database (of great venerability) have gotten to the point where they are actively sabotaging Talossan democracy.

If I am part of the next Government, bringing the database into "present time" technically speaking, and integrating it with the National Webspace, will be a matter of very great importance.

(Of course, I have an alternative theory on turnout, and that is that the proliferation of barely-distinguishable centrist parties is just confusing less-active voters. Certainly the most clearly ideologically defined parties, the Free Dems and Balançéu, don't seem to be having turnout problems.)
