Yes, I got the procedure mixed up. Apparently it has to be reviewed by the CRL before being Clarked.

Gotcha, just wanted to check Francal.

Now I'm even more glad he's changed his ways now.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 07:20:14 AMCould you give an example of legislation that's truly vital that we've been unable to pass thanks to the Senäts?

The most recent example was the Public Process Act Mark 1!

I think that's a great example to bring up, yes.  It didn't pass, and then it featured as a huge election issue, and now a revised version (a better version!) just passed unanimously.

I don't think it would have particularly been better if the Cosa could have just forced it through anyway.

Regardless of the wisdom of that political tactic*, there was no talk at the time of needing to get the majority of provincial representatives onside. The talk at the time was that this was an illegitimate use of power. Are we to infer that the Senäts' power to thwart the Cosa's will is good only when the Baron considers it for good ends?

I'd be very surprised if you could find that I demanded a reduction of Senäts power at the time.  Sometimes a principle is a good thing, even if it doesn't benefit your agenda at the moment.

I may not be grasping the entirety of the proposal here, but I fail to see how the Senate is less democratic than the Cosa, as senators are actually elected by the people, whereas MC's are on a party list but don't actually run for election in their own right. Perhaps if we want to fix an imbalance, MC's should run for their seats instead.

Is the intent of MC Autofil to eventually convert the Senate into more of a UK style House of Lords? Why is our current setup a problem?

I am familiar with the "any attempt to moderate the Senäts is step 1 to abolition, and must be opposed" rhetoric, from when it was "any attempt to moderate Royal powers is step 1 to Republicanism, and must be opposed". But cxhn. Autófil's argument that the best way to depoliticize the Senäts, to make it more of a non-partisan chamber of sober second thought, is to clearly give final say to the more democratic/more political chamber of the Ziu.

(* For the historical record, I warned party leadership of the time not to start a fight unless they were prepared to finish it.)

KR1 for a time bore the title "Head of the Unorthodox Church", which was never a real thing. I'm sure you know for the greater part of his reign he was a Latter-Day Saint.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 11:38:36 AMwe certainly plan on consulting you when the time comes to ensure that everything is done to the highest standard.  But I don't think it's particularly fair for us to treat you like the language servant, with every stage of el glheþ Talossan use by anyone shoved onto your plate.

Supplementary question, estimat Mençéi! In another situation where an elected leadership were pushing work away from a qualified civil servant, without informing him, towards one of their political allies with fewer qualifications, would the Government consider that good practice?

We will certainly consult you and involve you in all and any major language-related projects when we have it up and running. Rest assured that we will fully take advantage of your language expertise as we move forward.
