Thank you for changing it back so quickly, wow!

Moved, and sorry about the quoting change, it was unintended and I reverted it.

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.

I'm not actually sure it's a problem that politicians are doing politics? Or that legislators might have something to say about a conversation happening in the legislature?

And of course, it is unbelievably shabby to try to compare sexual harassment with the just criticism of a government presiding over a historic slump in immigration.

Then I wonder how you would deal with the current problem of "supplementary questions" used, not to elicit information, but to make political speeches and to "bait" the Minister in question. Or the problem where it seems to have become a "tradition" - unsupported by law - that other members can also pile into the conversation to make political speeches and "bait" the Minister.

This measure also means the Presiding Officers have to take an interest in proceedings. We've already had a Tuischac'h harassed into semi-retirement by a "Terpelaziun" thread. I thought we didn't like harassment meant to cow and drive out Talossans, or is it okay if it's not sexual harassment?
