Restricting legislators from topical discussion is a fairly extreme thing to do.  You have not provided any examples to justify this restriction.  Accordingly, I will be voting against your proposal.

On the other matter, we did just write a bill to criminalize disruption, so maybe let's just see how that goes. I'm not sure you'll ever be able to eliminate general rudeness.

Thank you for changing it back so quickly, wow!

The mechanisms of harassment are not different, and the Túischac'h already has jurisdiction over Hopper threads (if they're not bullied into retirement). But a wider point is: if MZs had to ask the Túischac'h for permission to ask supplementaries, they might think twice about bullying them into retirement.

That said, the point that if supplementaries are restricted but Terps are not, you'll just get a forest of Terps is well taken.

I think you must have linked to the wrong thread. This bill would change terpelaziuns. Your example is a Hopper thread, which would be unaffected.

Well, we've established that it's fine if you harass Talossans into semi-retirement as long as you don't tell them they're cute while doing so. Let me re-emphasise: the current Túischac'h has not been seen on Witt since the Big Bopper piled into him in that thread. Perhaps the Baron is fine with this because the CRL seat is, er, in "good hands". But no, I don't think non-sexual harassment which drives Talossans out of public life is okay. And I don't think it's politics either.

But seriously, a "Free-for-all" in the supplementaries is *not* how Parliamentary Questions work in any other country, and one of the issues in Talossa has always been USAmericans wanting to adopt the forms of a parliamentary system without being sure of how it works. In a civilised country, the Presiding Officer of the House maintains order. For those who think that bullying and (NOT sexual!) harassment is politics, of course a free-for-all where the presiding officer fears to step in is better.
