Glad you remembered. I support this one as well.

All right, this is a pretty devastating day for my team!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on April 30, 2026, 05:21:11 PMI'll note that there's not clear guidance on when MZs should vote to expel one of their members.

I heartily endorse this event or product

Hey, I forgot about this one.

ORGANIC LAW REFORM AMENDMENT THREE: EXPULSIONS

Add new OrgLaw IV.11:

QuoteThe Cosa may impeach any of its members from the Chamber with a two-thirds majority vote. Following impeachment, a replacement will be chosen as otherwise provided in this Organic Law. Following a failed expulsion, the accused Member of the Cosa may not again be tried for the same offence, pursuant to the Seventh Covenant of the Covenant of Rights and Freedoms. The former Member of the Cosa is not barred from running for office in future elections as long as the former Member of the Cosa maintains citizenship.

EDITED TO ADD: You will note that this will require reform to the existing OrgLaw IV.3. Because if a party leader really has total discretion over filling vacancies, there would be nothing to stop them simply reappointing the expelled MC.

Stage 16 Bellinzona -> Carì

TCAT took a detour to Switzerland today. Unfortunately not including Ackermann (MMM), who did not get on his bike after the restday. A break including Zana (CFA/CHX), Christen (REX/BDC/VFL), Narvaez (REX/VFL/MMM), Harper (GHS), Rubio  (CFA) and Ciccone (ITW/BDC/CHX) never got much more than 2 minutes from the peloton led by Vingegaards teammates, leaving the GC contenders to fight for the stage. It wasn't much of a fight, as Vingegaard easily outpaced his competitors in the final uphill kilometers. What remains is the fight for second place, where Gall (REX/VFL), Hindley (BDC/GHS) and Arensman (ITW/BDC/GHS/VFL) finished close together in that order. It will be a close race for second place between these three and maybe a couple others in the remaining stages.


The big news of today is that Pellizzari (CFA/VFL/MMM/CHX) will not be in that race anymore. He had been sick but hanging on before the restday, but today he clearly did not have the legs and lost more than 15 minutes, leaving him out of GC contention.

Like the GC, the KOM winner is also pretty much decided at this point. Ciccone did get some KOM points, but he has no chance of ending ahead of Vingegaard.

The points classification however, is still very much an open race. Where Magnier has chances in the sprints, Narvaez keeps gathering points by being in breaks, including today. Narvaez is now only two points behind Magnier with two more stages that seem suited for a succesful breakaway coming up, but Magnier of course can score big in the final stage in Rome. That makes the ciclamino the only jersey that hasnt been decided yet.


Unless crazy things happen, TCAT itself also has been pretty much decided with GHST again getting a big stagewin. Like in previous mountain stages, BDC was best of the rest and gains some places in the standing with a good outlook to climbing further in the stages to come. For the podium chances of the Menceis and Cyclohexane this was a pretty bad day however, due to Pellizzari losing his standing in GC.

Tomorrow we get an intermediate stage that should be one for the attackers. We can safely write down the name of Narvaez to feature in the attack. What names will join him is not as clear.

Thanks Governor. I'm looking forward to your recommendations to improve the draft.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on May 16, 2026, 09:50:46 PM@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be @mximo Here is the draft which moves Florencia toward a system more in line with a blend of Fiova and Vuode. Provincial legislature includes all provincial citizens > that body appoints a two-person executive directorate. Elections and administration by a provincial SoS (Chancellor) and creates a one-person judicial review (Instrumental Conciliator).

A quick ping for the Governor and Senator. We still have a month to go but some note that this will be reviewed and hopefully improved with additional eyes would be nice.

The call for bills for the June 2026 Clark (the fifth of the 62nd Cosă) is now open. You may post a link to a bill's Hopper thread underneath in the usual fashion, provided it has passed the Hopper according to Lex.H.2 and you are entitled to Clark bills.

I will accept for Clarking any such bills (except for any that fall foul of H.2.7) that are presented between now and May 31st 11:59 PM TST, as I will begin assembling the Clark on the European morning of June 1st.

Stage 15 Voghera -> Milano

Another sprint stage with a surprising outcome. While stage 6, the one finishing in Naples, had people wondering if the weird uphill cobbled sprint would claim any casualties (which it did), this one - flat and uneventful - seemed primed for a conventional sprint finish, with a small breakaway that would be carefully managed by the peloton.

Except that's not how things went; the breakaway, which included Cyclohexane duo Mirco Maestri and Mattia Bais, was victorious in its attack until the end, finishing one minute ahead of the peloton (aka, not even close). Maestri placed second and Bais fourth in a huge boon to Cyclohexane, with Andresen (ITW/REX) 7th, Mozzato (CFA) 10th and a disappointed Milan (CHX/GHS) only 14th ahead of MMM's Ackermann.

The 335 points between Cyclohexane and In The Wind are this edition's most dominant winning margin so far, with GHST previously putting 190 and 208 points on BDC in stages 9 and 14 respectively (and incidentally posting the narrowest margin too in stage 13, a single point over CHX). This should be a big help in Cyclohexane's quest for this edition's podium, on which they last stood in France 2024. Slim pickings for other teams, with just two sprinters in the top ten.

Today is the second and last restday; action will resume tomorrow in a mountainous stage entirely within the Italian speaking Swiss canton of Ticino. It will be the last proper mountain stage until the deciding duo on Friday and Saturday. Not likely to see much changing in the general classification, but if the breakaway succeeds, it's a good opportunity to score high points for non-GC climbers (the likeliest options are probably Ciccone, Zana and Rubio). If the breakaway doesn't, not many reasons to expect a much different outcome than other GC stage results (Vingegaard > Gall > Arensman/Hindley/Pellizzari/Storer/Gee), unless we get some drama either on course, because of illness, or as a result of the restday.
