Quote from: Glüc on Yesterday at 01:04:22 PMMy max score took a bit of a hit because my two predicted finalists ended up on the same side of the bracket. þerxh is currently ahead but needs to hope Portugal beats Colombia tonight or he'll face the same problem.

I face the same problem.. it was the 1st time I've wished victory for Portugal!

Everything above this comment has been queued up for Clarking - I suspect that's going to be it for this term, so I'm going ahead with numbering in the usual order (amendments, then bills, then nonbinding resolutions) so I can get a head start on preparing the PDF. Anything submitted later will simply get numbered out of order.

@Sir Lüc please Clark "The We Have a New-ish King Amendment" please. https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=5281.msg43771#msg43771

I approve.

Any other members of the CRL that can approve this bill?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 12:11:41 PMI apologize. You did ask me that before. Actually, I was trying to do it the way you said, but I misremembered and thought that you asked me to do it this way instead, so I did the wrong thing again!

No worries! I'll try to be clearer next time.

IMMIGRATION

---

Should the overdue revival of the TalossAssistant prove unsuccessful in increasing the success of immigration applications then we will need to consider alternative solutions. A review of InfoTeca data shows a steady rate of applications between January and May 2026 (in the low to high 20s) but the drop-off especially in the past three months has been in successful applications.

The concern, based on reviewing the data, is in retaining applicants and making them into successful citizens not in attracting applications. The Government has attempted to make a connection between its publication activity and immigration but that is not where the current problem lies. The PA will need to answer to voters why it took months to reactivate a program (at some urging by the Opposition) that will hopefully address the real immigration issue.

Update before the final three groupstage games:
