Unfortunately the Sentient Rights Act has failed again. I know some may think it an odd hobbyhorse but it is regrettably the frontier of rights-formation and recognition. Because it is connected to a fundamental belief I will continue to promote and resubmit it. And with patience, trust that with time and wisdom my fellow Talossans will get there eventually.

May speciesism suffer the same fate as racism, homophobia, classism, and all the other -isms that afflict my contemporaries.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on Yesterday at 02:33:10 AMI think at the very least there should be one for the Sixth Clark, which could include a live Royal Assent and Dissolution ceremony. (EDIT: but this requires an official Living Cosa, since otherwise business would not actually be over at the end of the session, so planning ahead is necessary!)

However, recent turnout has been discouraging, with the official opposition completely unrepresented in recent sessions and the Government only ever represented by the Seneschal. I really hope we can get to a better turnout, especially since the First Clark live debates were such a success, but I understand timezones are a challenge.

Good to see you around @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be There is a draft Florencia constitution awaiting your comment in another thread. :)
@Sir Lüc There will be at least one member of the Opposition in attendance should we manage to convene a live session for the fifth or sixth Clark.

The time allotted for voting on the Clark has expired.

As no bills or resolutions have passed both the Cosă and Senäts, Royal Assent is not required.

The Cosă and Senäts both rejected the following bills and resolutions:

62RZ22 - BHAID: Humanitarian Assistance to Sudan Resolution (Reconsideration)
Rejected by the Cosă 64-96 (20 abstained), by the Senäts 0-7 (1 abstained)

62RZ23 - The Sentient Rights Act
Rejected by the Cosă 44-60 (76 abstained), by the Senäts 0-2 (6 abstained)

The Cosă and Senäts have disagreed on the following resolution:

62RZ24 - Sense of the Ziu: In Support of Decoloniality
Agreed to by the Cosă 64-20 (96 abstained), rejected by the Senäts 0-0 (8 abstained)


The Cosă passed a Vote of Confidence in the incumbent Government 84-25 (71 abstained).

Francesco Manzella (MC-Green) and Marcüs Causch (MC-URL/NC) did not vote.

Yaaaaaassssss!

Todays stage could have been a sprint. However, some teams had different plans, going fast enough on the climbs on the way to drop most of the fastest sprinters (who often struggle uphill). They never managed to return, resulting in a reduced peloton heading towards the finish. Without the organisation of the sprint teams there was room to attack and Alec Segaert used the opportunity to escape and solo to the stage win. Aular (REX/VFL) was the first TCAT rider across the line followed by Narvaez (MMM/REX/VFL) resulting in a pretty low scoring affair. A disappointment for the teams who invested credits in sprinters perhaps. Els Talossaes Rexhital remain in the lead.

Standings after stage 12:

Pos	±		Team	Pts Ove	Pts Today
1st	(=)		Els Talossaes Rexhital (REX)	3740	+261
2nd	(=)		Gordon Hiatus Support Team (GHS)	3561	+137
3rd	(=)		Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis (MMM)	3491	+179
4th	(+1)		Velociposse Florencia (VFL)	3317	+278
5th	(-1)		Team In The Wind (ITW)	3186	+72
6th	(=)		Cyclohexane (CHX)	3114	+81
7th	(=)		Cézembre Caçeirs dals Mailintzarăs (BDC)	3049	+95
8th	(=)		Cézembre Fieschā (CFA)	1809	+72

Tomorrow is somewhat similar to today, except we get climbs that are a bit steeper and a bit closer to the finish, so again we probably won't see a bunch sprint. Yet another opportunity for Narvaez perhaps. Presumably we will see Scaroni or Silva near the front as well. Meanwhile, with opportunities slowly running out ITW and BDC will very much hope Ciccone finally gets a result to prevent GHST from running away with the competition before we get to the mountains again.

Yeah, I'm sure I've said it before, so I won't repeat the whole spiel again, but writing and passing that catchment area reform bill is the thing I regret the most in all of my Talossan life. Not only it didn't work at what it was supposed to do, it also created a rift in personal relationships that can't be healed easily.

But also, the Cjovani subculture might not exist had that not happened, so...
