Prior to the Informal Session on Sunday, the URL was approached by the Seneschal with a request. One of our colleagues in the Cosă is facing a dire situation that may prevent them from voting on the Clark entirely this month, and the Seneschal asked for an arrangement to avoid bringing the Government down on the first Clark. URL Secretary @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC suggested pairing, a method where individual legislators, opposed on a given vote, agree to abstain when one of their pair cannot attend the session. In the interest of civility and out of our respect and well-wishes for our absent colleague, the Union of Free Reformists has agreed to offer the Government a pairing arrangement for the January Clark.

  • In the short term, we agree that such a request from the Government is very reasonable, given the circumstances.
  • Sir @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP has already volunteered to switch his Vote of Confidence to Austaneu on the January Clark; and will be doing so shortly.
  • This arrangement will preserve the margin by which this month's VoC would have been expected to pass.

The URL would like to send our best wishes to our absent colleague.
