I am re-upping this appeal and think it is a good idea to encourage the donation from the funds raised go to cancer research as the scourge has touched the lives of many Talossans.

Please do join me in contributing.

So glad you posted the reminder. I nominate myself for Florencia Governor.

@mximo ? Do you support the nomination?

In almost all legislatures, collegial relationships are important.  People often work together for years, and even when they stand in staunch opposition on important values, they can sympathize with each other as people.

The Progressive Alliance has a narrow majority this term.  In previous years, such a situation has led to the ruthless necessity for every legislator to vote every time, no matter what might be happening in their lives.  There has sometimes been some leeway, but it has been infrequent.

This term, one of our MCs appears as though they will not be able to vote through no fault of their own, and ordinarily this would lead to the abrupt end of this democratically-elected administration.

However, I approached the Opposition leadership at the Informal Session this week with a request: would they be willing to accommodate this situation on a human level, by "holding harmless" the absent MC's missing vote of confidence?  To their great credit, and as a testament to the power of direct interaction outside of message-board posts, the URL has agreed to a "pairing."  You can read their gracious statement here.

The recent campaign was a harsh one, and the debate between our parties continues to be sharply-phrased at times.  But we hope that this will be the start of a new tradition that enables greater comity among our politically-active citizens and more stability in an era of slim majorities.  If the chance arises for us to return the favor, it will be our honour to do so.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on January 12, 2026, 11:50:26 AMI believe D:nă Schivă voted PER on RZ05 during the Joint Session.

Thank you for reminding me of that, I inadvertently skipped over that line in my notes. The record has been corrected.

Prior to the Informal Session on Sunday, the URL was approached by the Seneschal with a request. One of our colleagues in the Cosă is facing a dire situation that may prevent them from voting on the Clark entirely this month, and the Seneschal asked for an arrangement to avoid bringing the Government down on the first Clark. URL Secretary @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC suggested pairing, a method where individual legislators, opposed on a given vote, agree to abstain when one of their pair cannot attend the session. In the interest of civility and out of our respect and well-wishes for our absent colleague, the Union of Free Reformists has agreed to offer the Government a pairing arrangement for the January Clark.

• In the short term, we agree that such a request from the Government is very reasonable, given the circumstances.
• Sir @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP has already volunteered to switch his Vote of Confidence to Austaneu on the January Clark; and will be doing so shortly.
• This arrangement will preserve the margin by which this month's VoC would have been expected to pass.

The URL would like to send our best wishes to our absent colleague.

Cool. I sent him a message, but let him know I'm personally inviting him as the leader of the country to create a guest account for the Landing Pier. I don't think we're ready to have him jump right back in, but we would love to start a conversation about that.
