Look, I don't want to interrupt you guys doing this,
but I still wonder what you think your alternative was to doing the deal and getting the seat :D
The goal of the Free Democrats was to stop (a) the constant campaign of personal attacks/insinuations of bias against the Secretary of State; (b) the OrgLaw proposals, now thankfully memory-holed, which would have allowed the King to nominate a successor without Ziu approval. Mission accomplished.

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on Yesterday at 05:59:52 PMQuote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Yesterday at 05:44:23 PMSo this is indeed a policy change as you supported the restriction of discussion during this last term to the Standing Committee.
Not true

We need to find the good balance to preserve freedom of political affiliation and activity of all volunteering citizens, and I rely on the collective wisdom of the Ziu to find this right balance.Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Yesterday at 12:29:41 PMQuote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 11:36:20 AMBut you literally spent an entire term upholding something that you now admit was an error. Seeing now that the Agreement was indeed used to block the Ziu's consideration of Chancery Reform and that historic Organic Law reform was achieved outside of that Agreement, Open Society would welcome the Progressive Alliance's support for our effort to ensure an apolitical Chancery/Civil Service.
Reposting for the operative part which was ignored. Ahem.
No answer is an answer too. I mean, while you're making promises...

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on Yesterday at 04:49:01 PMEvery MC should be allowed to assess in good faith the performance of the Government, without any party line injunction or whip instruction. That's also a promise of the Progressive Alliance, as stated above.

A small quasi-philosophical note on this; even if the government of the day was performing well, an opposition party that wished to lead a future government should by definition vote against Confidence, as otherwise they would essentially publicly admit they don't believe they could do a better job.
