Region: The Mystical Council

History

Due to lovely politics within the defender community, I'm going to have to move my WA again. If anyone needs verification of it's location for voting purposes, just ask and I will send you a telegram.

This could cut down on poll usage and possible help the government run more efficiently. Don't forget to write a dispatch about this that abolishes the House of Lords and Commons, though. Otherwise we'll end up with an even more complicated system.

But before we start changing the system yet again. I would also check with [nation=short]New Bacon[/nation] who has been working hard on a constitution based on the current system. If Bacon's proposed constitution does not jive with allowing the Council to have legislative abilities we should probably vote against it. I may change my vote to "no" on this for that reason.

The LC does have the ability to create legislation currently, though.

Also [nation=short]Alistia[/nation] when are the government elections going to take place? As if I'm not mistaken they should be in December?

Can I have an answer to my question please or should I start the elections on the 1st of December for the position of Prime Minister by putting up a candidate poll?

the elections are to start in late december, so that each cabinet member starts their term close to january

Also western Austrailia is open and is no longer de jure of New Bacon. Eastern Austrailia is still de jure by New Bacon.

What's de jure?

de jure means by the right of or according to the law in Latin but used in English

Well I think the candidate poll should go up around the 1st because if the candidate poll is 3 days long and the election poll is 3 days long the polls will likely be finished on the 30th.

That makes 0 sense. If we release the candidate poll on the 1st we will likely be done on the 4th then at the latest we will have the election 2 days after (AT THE LATEST) so then the poll would be done by the 11th or even the 20th at the very latest.

Could you please elaborate on your post?

I meant all the ministers elections.If the candidate poll is 3 days long and the election poll is put up on that exact day it will mean we will probably be allocating 6 days per minister/prime minister.We have 4 ministers and 1 Prime minister so if we allocate 6 days each we get 30 days.

If we did one big candidate poll for every minister, then and then we did a poll for every minister for 3 days then that's around 18+3= 21enaing we would have an extra 10 days! We could do it the week after.

The problem with that is people tend to want to change their minds after the event and what if someone wants to run for multiple roles? Basically to henge their bets so to speak, they wouldn't be able to do that with the system you are suggesting.

There is a case to be made for having political parties running for government rather than individuals with this type of government system, as then it would be up to the parties to sort out who would take what Minister position and elect their own party leaders. Then the delegate would play the role of Speaker of Parliament, which would be basically making sure that the government does its job and the opposition seeks to prove they would be better than the government.

As a side note I suspect if that ^^ was adopted then I think things would suddenly get real interesting in terms of politics of the region

I have already suggested many things in that terms like making political parties more prominent and that district idea.

The district idea was perhaps over complicating things somewhat, unless people were to be randomly put into districts to keep things equal then that might work instead of parties. Then each district would have to seek support from the other districts to get stuff done. Now that's an interesting idea

In real life, elections are held and finalized for the coming term before the end of the current one. We should follow that model.

We should not do all of that AFTER the end of the term; that makes no sense.

Unfortunately the current government didn't think about that. So on the 1st of December we will start a candidate poll for Prime minister, then hold an election etc. Then basically rinse and repeate till its all done

Why?

Why wait?

There's nothing in the current government system that'd strictly against that.

I know we have less than 1 week left till December, but I refuse to let a useless cycle to continue, therefore I break it.

Okay so the poll is up now but to simplify things people elected as Ministers don't take office til January 1st

Viva Italia wrote:Okay so the poll is up now but to simplify things people elected as Ministers don't take office til January 1st

Why?

This has nothing to do with the ministers, whom each began their office at a different period than each other. This is just the prime minister. [nation=short]Alistia[/nation] became the prime minister beginning of September. We voted for 3 month terms; the 3 months are out. Therefore we must not wait for January.

But I guess you want to standardize when terms began.

I propose this, with the current circumstances of 3 month term limits:

December 1 Prime Minister term begins.

January 1 Minister of Foreign Affairs term begins.

February 1 Defense Minister & Minister of Culture & Minister of Domestic Affairs term begins.

March 1 Prime Minister term begins.

[B]Alternatively to that mess, we can have this second proposal of mine:

[/B]

>December 1 Prime Minister term begins.

>January 1 Minister of Foreign Affairs term begins.

>February 1 Defense Minister term begins.

>March 1 Minister of Culture term begins.

>April 1 Minister of Domestic Affairs & Prime Minister term begins.

The cycle then repeats smoothly:

>May 1 Minister of Foreign Affairs term begins.

>June 1 Defense Minister term begins.

>July 1 Minister of Culture term begins.

>August 1 Minister of Domestic Affairs & Prime Minister term begins.

This however requires a 4 month term length, which y'all thought a 3 month term length is waaaaay better. Clearly not. For now We should have the elections for the prime minister in December. And if a bunch of you who voted for a 3 month term length like my second proposal, then maybe we can revisit the term length issue.

Didnt even read all that but basically all ministers were appointed in october. The whole point on the 3 month thing was to have it so that there will be 1 election for each quarter of 2017, so i am for waiting to actually apoint them all until the 31st.

Parakka Northland, Viva Italia

Also, the majority of the region is for it, but we never voted on weather to merge defense and war into one.

Well Kaz was appointed earlier in October, Bacon and Viva were much later that month, and Bar was earlier this month.

So do you recommend a term reset on all of them and have them all on Jan 1st? We can do that I guess. Make December elections month and have the ministers start their terms Jan 1st. That has some benefits and some downfalls.

The Prime Minister's office though, if all other ministers are starting in the same day, I highly recommend that this one be different than the others. Have the Prime Minister offset 1 month before the rest. This way we can get a larger pool of people running for that very important office, and if they don't win, they still have the opportunity to run for 1 of the minister positions.

Trump can definitely sound like a politician when he wants too.

well all the ministers where appointed 'temporarily' by lemon at the same time, then actually voted in during october.

i don't think the pm office should be a month shorter, but it should be the first position to be voted on for the electorate candidates.

This is what I want to do,ensure I will work with every branch to ensure that we draft an amazing constitution with the help of our cartographer and former delegate New bacon.

Your probably asking Hey, Civ, that's vague again why are you bring vague stuff back?

how will we draft the constitution? give an example of what will be in it.

Basic laws and rules to guide the judicial branch and a basis for the government to keep the government on track which I hope to include my pillars of democracy in as well.

I did not say by the way that the PM should have a shorter term length. It's the same 3 months term, but the term begins a month earlier than the rest. Though having the PM elections before the others as you suggest can solve the problem.

So I guess we can have the PM and the rest of the ministers begin term on Jan 1st.

It would be easier now the government is established. So as such elections for the new ministers should take place in the final month of the current government. Then when the new quarter starts the new ministers are appointed. This would be the simplist solution

Parakka Northland wrote:It would be easier now the government is established. So as such elections for the new ministers should take place in the final month of the current government. Then when the new quarter starts the new ministers are appointed. This would be the simplist solution

That's exactly why I made my proposal.

Still, while I think the election cycle proposal is as efficient and democratic as possible given what we have, I think it would have been better if we had only 3 election cycle (by making the terms 4 months) leaving us more time to focus on the region's other aspects. Though I guess we can revisit this issue after the end of this year.

Anyway, I hope we can approach the coming election season with the proposal I outlined, at least as an experiment. It's the best idea we got right now in order to keep things organized, without jeopardizing democracy and fair opportunity. And if all goes well, we can make it the standard for later elections.

Hmmm, maybe he is a good choice.

He has a long record and he is consistent throughout.

I made a mistake when I made the current poll. I forgot to add a "write in" option; it's best to have that option on candidacy poll from the beginning rather than later on the election poll. Will keep that for future record.

I've always been enlightened.

The quest of enlightenment is to not be taken lightly.

Well, I am literally on the edge of wifi, so my posts may be sporadic.

Also, it is raining here too

The dreaded wifi. So convenient but when it doesn't work there's pandemonium.

I rather have it be snowing than rain but oh well. Time to go walk in the rain. :-P

Trudged forth through the rain, only once more I need to go out to get food.

I read mostly nonfiction.

There are few sci-fi books I like. Are you familiar with the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov? Great books.

Alistia wrote:i like sci-fi, fantasy, political, post-apocalyptic, historical.

Post-apocalyptic is a neat subject matter and historical as well. I am especially fond of the Medieval period.

Once again, if you are interested in sci-fi check the Foundation series if you have not already.

Very well, could you please temporarily reinstitute poll authority for me. I put forth my proposal for the elections and I would like to carry out my duty through it. I don't want to just leave a job undone.

Hmmm, I will put forth his name nonetheless. On the chance that he does win the vote and still doesn't want it, he can still reject the postion and it will go to the person in second place.
