I am Clarking the following: The Sentient Rights Act

Just FYI: this bill should not be accepted under the terms of Lexh.H.2.1.7.1, since it is too deficient in function to work.  In the time since it was proposed and placed in the CRL, that section of the law was amended by an intervening bill, and so it's proposing to amend a provision that does not exist.

S:r Secretary,

I would like to reClark the following:

BHAID: Humanitarian Assistance to Sudan Resolution: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4993.msg41750#new

This prospective has not made a post on Wittenberg within a month of their introduction.  In accordance with Lexh.E.4, their application process is hereby terminated. @Minister of Immigration, please take notice.

The text of the bill is mostly fine, but one of the whereas clauses has the clear implication that His Majesty is a strongman.  Since the bill's sponsor says that isn't what he means to say, I'd recommend removing that clause.

Lexh.F.5.3.13 does not exist, so it cannot be modified.  This bill needs to take into account the changes from the Blanking Blank act, where we cleaned up F.5 among many other changes.

Just a quick reminder that the Seneschal is standing in for the vacant A-X seat on the Committee, pursuant to Lexh.D.2.1.

I'm of the opinion that the former of the two methods (the one Miestra describes) is better. As much as Germany's newer method fixes the size of the legislature, and while I did mention that I like that sort of thing on principle, I don't like the idea of a constituency being represented by someone who didn't really win it.

An easier way to describe that method might be to say that the size of the Cosa is increased by a number of seats equal to the total number of overhang seats won. In this example, Party B wins one overhang seat, and is the only party to do so; the Cosa is therefore 21 seats for the term.

I should note that using ranked-choice voting for the provincial seats instead of first-past-the-post would also reduce the odds of overhang seats occurring. A candidate that secures a majority of the vote in a province is more likely to come from a party that has a broader base of support nationwide.

I do notice that in his most recent post, the Baron appears to have glossed over the issue of double-representing provinces in the Ziu. While I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume this was an oversight on his part, in the event it was intentional, may I reiterate for the benefit of him and his caucus that the method proposed by Sir Luc does not eliminate the Senats' existence or even alter its powers, simply the method by which it is elected.

Yes, I knew that.
