Nice. Well put.

Azul,

Your proposal makes sense. It would allow the party to engage in a more constructive and substantive debate within the framework of a Constitutional Reform Committee.

I do not have sufficient mastery of written English to draft a constitution myself. However, I wish to participate in this process, and I believe that many individuals with a strong interest in constitutional reform and legal matters could join the committee as experts and consultants.

The position of Governor should perhaps be subject to election during general elections. This would relieve the Crown of the burden of having to make inherently political choices.

I remain opposed to any form of provincial merger. Our participation rate ranked third out of eight provinces in the last elections. Moreover, the Nacho-shaped province has already rejected this idea several years ago.

More, the recent attempt by a citizen of the province to seek judicial intervention further demonstrates that our constitution no longer fully respects the current judicial order. I would have welcomed a ruling from the Court, but the juge was unable to adjudicate the matter an unusual and troubling situation in my view.

In conclusion, I welcome your proposal and would support your candidacy both as Governor and as Chair of the Constitutional Reform Committee. I leave it to the Greens to introduce a motion, once the House is reopened, to formally establish the Constitutional Reform Committee. Should it be necessary, I will propose amendments when the time comes.

With a neutral Chair leading the committee, we will then be able to fully assume our partisan roles without constantly placing the Crown in the position of having to arbitrate political disputes.

Let peace come to our province again.

Sure -- the role of information liaison was very carefully designed so that it was not "a position representing their fellow citizens or wielding government authority."  Such a liaison is gathering information, but is specifically not empowered to represent the Kingdom of Talossa and has no power to make any decisions.  There is no current prospect of the Information Liaison for Asgardia being placed in a position of power or serving as a representative of the Kingdom of Talossa.

Excuse me, your Majesty, but can the Government explain how the appointment of the Information Liaison for Asgardia conforms to this policy statement?

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on February 07, 2026, 01:55:41 PMIf I may offer a solution to the issue, I would be happy to serve my southern neighbors as either their Governor, the chair of their constitutional reform committee, or both.

I meet at least criteria 1 and 2 above. #3 is of course yet to be determined. I have experience serving as a province's chief executive, and would abstain from using my ex officio Nimlet seat in order to keep decisions that affect the Florencian people in their own hands.

As to the constitutional reform aspect, I can point to my recent role as the author of the new Belacostan constitution as a qualification. From an outside perspective, it would seem the people of Florencia have multiple viable paths for reform, so long as any of these have the legitimacy of popular democratic support.

Works for me. Florencia needs constitutional reform ASAP and any individual or party committed to democracy above and beyond personal feelings likely sees that. If an external appointment is the only alternative to appointing an active member of the Nimlet like myself then so be it.

Recognizing Miestra's latest political commentary (provincial mergers) I also support an effort to reunite Florencia with Belacosta.

Also, given the absolute shambles and fiasco in Florencia, I think we need to get back to the idea of provincial reform. Like, the shambles in that province is not just due to constitutional loopholes - it could have been avoided if there were not just two (2) politically active citizens in that province, and if those two men didn't hate each other. (The URL's stand of Literally Anyone Else in the last Senäts race is proven right, again.)

This gets solved by having bigger and therefore fewer provinces. The Seneschal's fantasy that we fix this by doubling the population isn't going to happen.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on February 01, 2026, 10:01:32 PMVoting Method Reform: Sir Marcel has suggested Proportional Approval Voting before. For my part, I prefer panachage, but I'm interested in further discussion at any rate.

I'm still sticking out for the simplest version, Kosovo-style personalised party list voting - you vote for a list and a candidate on that list, and the candidates with the most votes get in. That's the closest to our current system.

But whichever way we slice if, some kind of candidate-based voting for the Cosă which preserves proportionality but reduces the power of party leaders seems an excellent Item 1 for the Democracy Agenda, which might get broad support.
