Wittenberg / Re: [Govt] Statement on Recent...

The title is dictated by the law in Lexh.L.6.  I actually think a Prog has some legislation they're working on to eliminate this bit of the title.  I don't know how His Majesty feels about it.

El Ziu/The Ziu / [Terpelaziun] Culture Minister...

Mr. Speaker,

This enquiry is for the Culture Minister. @Françal I. Lux

While there has been significant activity out of the Seneschal's Office and some from the Foreign Affairs and Finance ministries, others have, so far, been rather quiet. What are the upcoming plans of the Culture Ministry?

Mr. Speaker, this enquiry is for the Foreign Affairs Minister.

@xpb Concerning applications for the PermSec for Humanitarian Aid you had mentioned receiving two applications and it has been a few days since you mentioned submitting them for Cabinet discussion. When will the Ministry be announcing the appointment of the new PermSec for Humanitarian Aid so they might begin their work?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 28, 2026, 05:46:06 AMThat's the traditional title.  I don't know that Talossa's sovereigns have ever cared to specify.
Sounds English to me, but meh.

I Roman Catholic indeed but that does not play a role, I'm on my school's music profile so therefore I have to take Latin. If I would've chosen the economic profile I could choose between either Latin or French.

Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio, UrN on January 27, 2026, 07:22:42 PMJust never upgrade to Windows 11 ever, if you can.
What if you get a new device though? I mean in early August I got a Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 which obviously had Windows 11 preinstalled. I will say that it is a nice operating system and users in the European Union can uninstall preinstalled programmes and apps and stuff. Windows 11 is much more optimised for touchscreens, will say that.

Also, good to see you posting again :)

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 27, 2026, 07:20:14 AMCould you give an example of legislation that's truly vital that we've been unable to pass thanks to the Senäts?
Admittedly, since the Government usually controls the Senäts, it usually does not come up.

I suppose then that as we live in unusual times, we will see if something does.

QuoteIf half the country's provincial representatives don't want to pass something, then it probably shouldn't pass until it's in a form they can tolerate, or until an election has shown the will of the electorate.
A point the Seneschal may come to regret making.

QuoteI don't find the aesthetic argument very persuasive.  We shouldn't change something that serves an important purpose just so we can mimic other countries, unless there's good practical reasoning to do so.
I know you don't, this was an argument addressed to the open-minded.

QuoteWhy would it do this?
Because it removes the Senate from the "political" side of the legislative process, much the same way as most other upper houses -- even elected ones -- are not seen as being as politically-charged as their lower partners.

QuoteThis is an important point... subordinating the Senäts to the Cosa does seem like a prelude to getting rid of the Senäts itself.
This amendment would make it no easier to abolish the Senäts than it is right now. Compared to unicameralism, this amendment is by far the moderate position.
