Heyo guys!
I just wanted to open the discussion on the Clarity and Fixes Amendment. The voting will start tomorrow, and last two days.
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1289131
It's the biggest amendment ever and it basically fixes every problem in the Constitution we could find. It also makes it more clear and less redundant. Give it a read!

Geverdonia City Times - Monday
NO SMOKING SAYS PARLIAMENT
Approved by the King and Prime Minister Slouther, all kinds of smoking has been banned. All smoking products must be rid of from stores by January 1, 2020. Are there any reimbursement? says shopkeeper Andrea Lushkin, you cannot just throw out products. Our school children will thank you, public smoking has taken place as influence instead of advertisements said Geoffrey Sheckler, kids are starting to develop asthma at a rapid speed. There has been no reimbursement or buy-back programs in place. When asked, the Speaker of the Parliament Gwendolyn Rybak (Conservative, Port Holbourg) said that Geverdonia should not pay for ones vices or have potential abuse of the buy-back program.

In regards to your question, they are not being denied the ability to write legislation. Per Article VII Sections 11 and 12 of our Constitution (which will be changed a little due to this amendment, but still stand), any WA nation may create legislation (among other things) to go to referendum. They only need the approval of the President, Prime Minister, or 10% of the regions WA nations via petition to see it go to referendum. By merit of their positions, the President and Prime Minister would still be able to put these items forward. The sections in the Constitution that are on the chopping block are looking at being removed to avoid redundancy.
[spoiler=Article VII, Sections 11 and 12]11. Any WA nation may refer any of the following to referendum:
a. a removal of a government official from office;
b. a change of the regional symbols;
c. a repeal of this Constitution
d. a proposal of a piece of supplementary legislation;
e. a repeal of a piece of supplementary legislation;
f. an amendment to a piece of supplementary legislation;
g. an overturning of a proscription; and
h. an amendment of this Constitution;
12. Referrals to referendum by WA citizens require either the approval of the President or the Prime Minister, or a petition numbering ten percent of the regions WA citizens.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]About 1000 people gathered in front of a government building in Layton for days to seek abolition of a law banning abortion.The law was introduced 2 months ago. After the unsuccessful pressure of the opposition media to power, it was decided to protest.
President Gavric said at a press conference that he did not intend to repeal the law.He gave reasons:
,,I do not intend to repeal the law. Abortion is the murder of a child who has not appeared in the world.They also say that we who are against abortion do not care about women, we care very much.First of all, during the procedure, a woman's health can be compromised and even if successfully passed can result in stress and depression in the future.The sanctity of human life is being destroyed.Abortion is the worst form of child abuse and the famous medical oath is violated.I have made enough arguments for these protesting people to go home.Every life of Clarkstanian is important to us. They choose death, we choose life.,,[/spoiler]

The Avalonian Minister of Employment, Yuriko Koike, has announced the most recent unemployment rate at 2.35%, the lowest ever in Avalonian contemporary history. This news came as the Avalonian Euro improved against the International Standard Euro currency indicator of the Global Sonderburg Central Bank. It is expected that this will help the Avalonian Progress Party, which is the coalition currently in power, despite some internal concerns and mild division over the ever growing dominance of the Avalonian Welfare Party, which currently is the largest party in the country.

Nervous but ever so prepared, this was her first time meeting with such an influential figure outside of the Epicurean Federation, and she only wanted it to go well. She had with her in her brief case some small little models of Märske shipping boats, maps of Avalonian trade routes, and booklets about the Avalonian environmental product industries like ecautos and ecojets, as well as information technology and publishing industries overview pamphlets. A directory of Avalonian luxury and artisan goods had also been prepared, with everything from the famous Avalonian lavender and rosewater soaps to Avalonian fashion houses' most popular designs. She knew that she was a representative of so much than just Märske: Avalonia itself.

Villacastel Journal - Wednesday FINAL
[spoiler]Parliament ends with legislation leaning conservative
May it be an indicator that Henri Slouther is giving into the Conservatives to partner with them, the Liberals today announced their union with the Greens and the sole Independent MP Ursula Emers. In a referendum held by Parliamentarians trying to leverage political freedoms that ended in a lower civil rights score by the WA, Geverdonia will have capital punishment, but only for grievous capital crimes. Labour leader Georgina Brewer protested Parliament calling its quick passage a crime against humanity. PM Slouther spiked back saying that the petition to bring back capital punishment was a democratic and vented decision that was not easy to vote for.
In other legislation passed last minute, the smoking ban became ratified by the King. It is now a national crime to operate agricultural machinery and financial machinery intoxicated. Parliament also increased Education budgets to be voted for next parliament making it the second largest spent area, right behind the defense spending.
King Mikhael Prorogates Parliament
In an unusual prorogation statement, His Majesty made instructions approved by the Royal Cabinet.
As in accordance with the Parliament Timetable Act of 2001, the 35th Parliament shall cease operations as of midnight 5 December 2019. The election shall be held on 11 December 2019. Since this has been an election that interrupted such timetables, Parliament shall return on 16 December with a shorter Christmas vacation from 24-29 December, and 1-7 January. Grant us, Almighty God, security and patience. R Mikhael

[spoiler=RP-Info]Impending Elections
The Hobsonese Parliamentary Elections are a mere 2 weeks away, and the forecasts are buzzing. Analysts predict that the largely dominant Democracy Party, having near majority control of the parliament since 2014, will again win. However, it is the five lesser parties that shall demonstrate more intriguing results. The Socialist Pact, having been free-falling in seats due to their increasingly radical policies, will very likely slump past the 50 mark into obscurity, whereas the Green Party may continue to steadily resonate with more voters with their well-rounded policies.
Moving on to the more radical parties, the theocratic Violetist Council will continue to hover around the number of 75 seats, garnering its toehold from the untamed mountainous regions that still believe in the barbaric religion. A slow rise in the number of supporters of the old monarchy can be seen in the Monarchic Party, thought to soon reach a total seat count up in the 80s. Finally, an up and coming success story is seen. Combining right-wing rhetoric and nationalistic pride, the Union of Hobsonian Nationalists has had a meteoric rise, tripling in size in the past 4 years, and becoming the 3rd largest party in the parliament. It is expected to become at least the 2nd largest, perhaps even having the potential to topple the Democracy Party's monopoly on the passing of policies. This is possible in part due to said Democracy Party still recovering from the Socialist Pact's sudden spike in popularity in 2016.
Government Website Released
In a bid to modernise, the Hobsonese government has created one of what will soon become a series of websites, the latest sporting a chart that depicts the parliament and its seats over the previous 3 elections.

However, whether or not this will continue across further competitions remains to be seen.[/spoiler]

As a final act on behalf of the 35th Parliament before Election Day, universal health care will be official policy. Some of our taxes has been already set for health care, but it hasnt gone to regional and governmental hospitals. said Royal correspondent Regina Loudroy.

but why?
there are only about 3 full time RPers who are conservative, this means in any case of war, (since non conservatives will generally be quicker to side with the other side) they can help each other out in any case of war, and combined they will strongly deter larger nations from joining in to help.
this primarily has to do with Defense, but it may be applicabble to the invasion of a nation that is deemed a tthreat or something in some way.
probably will be with yaldia NUSA and probably clarkstan
