• Constitutional amendment vs. constitutional overhaul -- should the current constitution be amended in specific places, or replaced outright?
• Form of the Executive -- should Florencia keep the current method of choosing the provincial executive? Should some alternative -- direct election, collegiate executive, etc. -- be implemented instead? Is legislative confidence necessary, or would some other form of democratic mandate be preferred?
• Form of the Legislature -- is the current "Real Nimlet" method of partisan election still preferred, or would Florencians prefer something like the "citizens' assembly" model used in some other provinces?
• The Legislative Process -- from V-C Tzaracomprada's statement above regarding Article IV, it would appear that amendments to Florencia's legislative process may be worth examining in further detail. I invite him to expand on this point at his leisure.

With thanks to Governor Autofil, I offer my own answers to the agenda items.

-I support a full constitutional overhaul.
-The current structure of the Provincial Executive has in this most recent episode demonstrated its weaknesses. The Governor is aware of my sympathies for a collegial or directorial executive so I would support that. But I would also be in support of a highly limited and purely administrative executive office with the legislature being in nearly all matters supreme.
-I am in complete support of moving towards a citizens assembly model used by other provinces. (And would also recommend the creation of a provincial secretary of state to cover scribery-like, election, and record-keeping duties). This body should review the successes of Fiova and Belacosta. I have done this personally and moved to enact examples here in Talossa.
-If we move toward an overhaul with a limited administrative executive then I think the Article IV reforms may not be necessary.

Okay, so I finished up this one.  I also spent a few minutes grabbing out the swearing-in from the State Opening, since I thought that would be a neat clip.  I had to cover up some folks with the text of the oath -- sorry!  You can check that one out here.  I'll do the same today with my presentation and the Chancery's presentation.  If anyone else has good clip ideas, please point them out and I'll whip something up.  It'll be good to get a good number of short videos like this that we can post at intervals.

Meanwhile, the monarchy one should be done soon.

On the passing of philosopher Jurgen Habermas the Green Party remembers the champion of democracy and human emancipation with the following quote:

Quote"If any trace of utopianism remains in me, it lies solely in the belief that democracy—and public debate in its optimal forms—has the capacity to cut the Gordian knot of problems that would otherwise be practically insoluble."

Yep, sorry, I meant to post it here as well earlier today but I got terribly delayed.
