Because provinces have sometimes had that as their local government, and I don't want to prohibit that.  We should leave it up to them.

I have always voted in public on Witt.  I appreciate that you have taken the proper step not to comment within the official voting thread.

How about simply "no one can be cunstaval and a provincial leader of any province at the same time"

Oh, I see. Well, that wouldn't be closing a loophole, that would be a significant change. In the past, some provinces have chosen to have their Constable also serve as the ceremonial head of state or the head of their government. So I don't want to prevent provinces from doing that. Provinces will already be now enabled to pass their own restrictions on who can hold the office, and they can add this restriction if they so choose.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on December 31, 2025, 05:11:16 PMThere is a great example, which I wrote about once, where I compared the same chapter about former Seneschál Tamorán dal Navă before and after he fell out with King Robert.

That was one of the issues of Qator Itrins, if I remember my Talossan reading correctly.

62RZ01: PER. I believe we have gotten a fair compromise made to this bill, and will support it.
62RZ02: CON. Given the opposition to this bill from some individuals with a good deal of experience with our legal system, I cannot support it. I'm open to looking at altering how advisory opinions work, but they appear to still be of use in some form, and this bill deletes them outright.
62RZ03: PER. I have some reservations about the removal threshold being a simple majority, but these can be addressed with additional legislation.
62RZ04: CON. I've made my stance pretty clear on this elsewhere.
62RZ05: AUS. Given the actions taken by the Foreign Ministry under the previous Government, and that the current one has not yet rescinded them, this bill seems somewhat weak compared to the current official position. Frankly, I'm more concerned with trying to stop democratic backsliding in Talossa.

VoC: NON

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 01, 2026, 07:08:08 PMThat section is the current language from existing law, as it has been for many years. And respectfully, I find your version actually a little bit more confusing than the simpler version. Invalidating candidacy sounds like you just can't run for the office or something. I'm open to the idea, but could you explain to me why you think this is an improvement?

I grant the way I phrased it may not have been the best,
But the intention is to clear up a loophole in the language you presented which, as the prohabition against being a Cunstaval in the same province you are from, as this bill would do, it doesn't prohibit you being able to hold a provincial government head and the position of cunstaval in the SAME province. Which is what I was trying to stop in the suggested change I put forward earlier

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on December 31, 2025, 05:04:55 PMThis is inaccurate. PMQs in my country and I believe in Britain are submitted with a few days notice so that the Government can prepare a proper answer. That said, supplementary questions are extemporary.

Could I get those sent to me in advance as well, considering they are formally addressed to the Túischac'h?

This author produced a two volume Atlas of Micronations. Fortunately you don't have to pay the $105 for the print version (that's $210 for both volumes), or $40 for the ebook, the entry on Talossa is in the free sample. (You'll have to scroll down a bit.)

A fantastic reference item apparently. I just checked out the sample and it looks well done.

Quote from: xpb on January 01, 2026, 05:46:18 PMCON regarding 62RZ05    Sense of the Ziu: Big Neighbor Democratic Backsliding

Talossa is not an island. If we are to move beyond isolationism we need to speak on issues based on our values as a nation and people and that are of importance globally as members of the international community.

Our "big neighbor" is experiencing democratic backsliding and while our ability to influence the outcome is limited we have many American dual citizens. We should be willing and able to speak, on the basis of our own struggle to consolidate democracy, to the importance of the preservation of democratic culture and institutions.
