Good luck this week!

All fair points, BenArd! I didn't take into consideration the overlap of national election certifications and deadlines.

I do think this is an opportunity for legislation, or at least a Premier with more than a tenuous grasp of election law and it's application 😅

I don't think it would have that effect? But you're right that it's in question and the ambiguity is unnecessary. I will add a clause to grandfather in previous PDs.

Mximo Malt, Francesco Manzella, Duke Ian, Françal Ian Lux, Andrïeu Cabischabuerg, Marcel Tafial, Ian Moritzescu, Litz Cjantscheir and Béneditsch Ardpresteir have been emailed with credentials to fresh Database accounts for voting on the Clark. If you are one of them, check your inbox and get back to me if there are any issues.

I believe all other MZs already had one. If this is incorrect, or you lost your credentials, or have login issues, contact me.

I also shot an email to Garth Spencer, who still has to assign (presumably to himself) the four seats won by his party.

No worries. (Please still only use this thread to post links to Hopper threads rather than full bills, as specified in the leading post. Although I'm wondering if that might be a good way to unambiguously submit a final version?)

I have queued up for Clarking all bills submitted so far. You can check https://database.talossa.com/ziu/bills/unclarked for errors.

MGMT's Electric Feel

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on December 17, 2025, 10:45:13 PMAnd we should probably look at formalizing and empowering the offices of Tuischac'h and Mençei, to let them maintain better order in their chambers.

I'd like to invite the Túischac'h @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP hold forth on this.

I was reading about how they do things in Kosova, and it strikes me that an "open list" system can only work if we're doing the Pseudo-Real Cosă (i.e. like, 2 seats maximum per MC). In that case, the simplest open list system is:

- you get to vote for ONE party, and in addition, ONE candidate within that party's list
- if the party gets fewer seats than they have candidates, the candidates with the top X popular votes get those seats
- if the party is entitled to have Y candidates holding more than 1 seat, those will be the candidates with the top Y votes.

Effective control by voters of who, within their preferred party, gets into the Cosă is a democratic advance.

This bill will change every PD that has already been signed. I'd suggest grandfathering it in so that only new PDs are affected.
