Region: The Mystical Council

History

As prime minister I will be looking at creating a set of rules to bring to discussion regarding political parties and proportional representation. To streame line this whole government election process.

Now I am tempted to cancel all the remaining elections, I understand Forestavia would support the move. However, I would like the opinions of the Lunar Council in terms of regional laws and if I took that action would I be breaking any or would I be subject to any criminal proceedings?

You damn sure as hell would be breaking regional laws. We didn't vote on an election system just so someone can cancel them whenever they feel like it.

Forest is no longer part of the government and you have zero authority to make such action.

There is still election for the minister of foreign affairs and minister of culture.

Speaking of parties, can someone please send my links to any existing party distaches?

Of course there is the Peoples Solidarity Bloc, but are there any others?

Speaking of the Peoples Solidarity Bloc, Exotic Lemon you should update that dispatch with a new one.

I will update it probably Sunday. Mugwop, I am also going to have to agree with you. Parakka, I would hold off on your plan at least until elections are done

hey you trolls, you never voted on the next judicial council seat either!

INCOMPETENCE! SAD!

this is why we have 2 many polls, no one knows what is going on anymore.

This is done. Illfated is the new judge. You were also nominated, but you refused to run. So Illfated won by default.

Until January no one needs to keep in mind when the elections are. Till then it is my responsibility, however the schedule I made is straightforward for anyone curious https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=743586

I never declined! therefore I was running!

Quote my refusal (you can't), you're putting words in my mouth!

Alistia nominated me and I "liked" his post! Therefore, I was running!

And I went through it again, the whole thing was actually about the Minister of Domestic Affairs postion, not JB. This is why nominations should be done in MC and not in TMC.

For the JB seat, Illfated was the only one nominated by both Lemon and Alistia, so the seat went to him by default.

We also voted on the regional flag, but that ultimately wasn’t respected as a vote. Which sets precedent for votes not to be legally binding unless it’s about legislation.

However, if it would be breaking regional law to stop the election process, espeshally as it’s over run. Then it should also be breaking regional law for the previous government to not have completed it by the start of the new government.

Anyway this is all by the by, as you are merely a Minister the same as me. Which is why I asked our legal experts in the form of the Lunar Council.

Well you're goddamn right we voted on the flag.

Alistia made a hub-hub to have a revote on the flag, and we did and the flag was changed after the vote, and that vote better be damn respected. Thanks for reminding me.

Okay, well if you accept the nomination, there's a good argument for having an election poll on that. So do you accept the nomination as a member of the Judicial Council?

I also think I should introduce and amendment that henceforth a nomination is not valid unless accepted by the recipient.

I am strongly against this amendment.

People have messed up our elections for a while by not putting active candidates in because they 'didn't accept' but as I have said, and will always say, unless a candidate specifically says they don't accept the nomination, it should be assumed they do.

Past interference by trying to do this has thrown candidates out of races when they wanted to run.

it's good to hear both sides!

I'm somewhere in the middle.

If they are regularly active (RMB posting) then I think it should be assumed they are running if they are nominated because they obviously saw the message.

However, if someone nominates an inactive nation (one who is on every few days or not at all), then they should acknowledge they are running or not.

Well think about it, if they are not active enough to just say yes, then they're probably not gonna be active enough to do their responsibilities. So why force it?

- Citizenship is granted to nations who have identified the location of their WA membership to the JB pres, Oak, and/or the Del. Your WA membership had not been on your nation here or the alternative provided to us in excess of a week, so I dropped your status. (If I'm mistaken, feel free to call me out.)

- No need to make a new switcher set, let me clarify my proposal: you only need provide the name of one or two of your switchers if they all have an identifier--i.e., mine are all Gym Leader or Elite Fours. In your case, you could provide a list of nations that you usually use for updating. That list would remain confidential, I'm no heathen :P

- Likewise. A solution could be that we both also seek out verification from the Del, JCP, and/or Oak, but the burden incurred by maintaining that goes without saying. Alternative solutions are welcome, so long as they adhere to the Citizenship Bill.

This, basically. We've already streamlined it as much as it can be in it's current state, the next best solution would be putting up a tech thread request to implement multi-poll functionality for regions.

We can make a single nomination poll, but because of the logistics you can only run for 1 position, and if you don't win, you can't run for another postion.

Mugwop wrote:We can make a single nomination poll, but because of the logistics you can only run for 1 position, and if you don't win, you can't run for another postion.

And due to that, it'd create a vacuum of unfilled positions and put people in positions they really shouldn't have run for and won. The current method helps fill the holes a lot more efficiently.

This would have been solved if you can create a poll and pick multiple options.

I am appointing temporary guards right now, we can make it more official later (Terran Flux is defense minister, he can nominate someone or something similiar).

New Bacon- You have served tmc longer than most of us have been a nation. You have been known to be trustworthy, reliable, and fair. I nominate you not only for your influence, but also for your experience as a raider, defender, and strategist. I trust you will protect tmc.

Barishmacht- You have served as a grand duke, culture minister, and judicial member. You are known to be just and fair, and you tend to be on at update times. Although you do not have an overwhelmingly distinguished raiding career, you have plenty of experience and I trust you will protect tmc.

Terran Flux, Malcholm, Alistia, Parakka Northland- you guys should also have border control just in case.

"Thems fightin words"

In all seriousness, forest actually needs to revive oak. He was ordered to by the court. We can't keep draining our resources and keeping our WAs here just to try to protect our home region. Most of us aren't raiders or defenders, so we shouldn't be forced to keep our WAs here. I appreciate the endorsements, but you guys should be endorsing me because you want to, not because you fear that the region will be taken over unless you endorse the current delegate, whoever that is.

On the contrary, by forcing more WA participation, it prevents TMC from becoming a solely military-based region. And thus guarantees some level of peace in our world. For example, our citizens will be less likely to go on military missions willy nilly. Instead they will be more selective. This also serves the interest of protecting the homeland's culture and makes us stronger.

Plus I still have 30 days before I have to log in again.

AND... nations should also have the right to commit suicide without government interference. Ahem. Those rights aren't there for decoration. The Lunar Council should not have the authority to force players to run their nations a certain way. They would have been better off banning me but they didn't because this too would have produced unintended consequences.

I do support this. But I also see Malcholm came out with an improved voting system since the last time we talked. This new voting system will solve a lot of the problems I think. In fact, we may not have to cancel any elections at all if these new voting guidelines work.

I mean. Parakka is the first Prime Minister under this system to suggest a suspension of elections in this region. We've been having elections continuously since I think 2015. So, um. Don't you guys think that's a big deal? Don't you think it might be worth looking into what problems there are with our current system? I wrote a new emergency constitution a couple of weeks ago. I'm ready. I'm just not active enough right now. Connect the dots! Something's really wrong with the system. If we don't do something about it now there is going to be another revolution here. Proportional representation under the Prime Minister's plan. What do you think about it?

So I'm just saying there are bigger problems facing us than what nation someone chooses to operate under. I think we are seeing the ministry-style government collapse very slowly before our eyes.

Hopefully we won't need a revolution. The reason why it seems like they swap is because we have just enough active nations to fill every slot.

4 - Scrap both the Government and Lunar Council and rely solely on the delegate / founder

Parakka you made the poll, but where do you stand? What do you think needs to be done?

Im torn between two options that being 2 and 3. Both have their merits, and would solve the Government issues we currently have.

I like 3 a touch better than 2. Both of them would be an improvement, I think.

Options are as follows encase you cant read them:-

1- Leave the current system in place

2- Bring back Political Parties & have proportional representation

3 - Lower the ministers down to 3 (border, domestic & foreign affairs) with the delegate acting as President

4 - Scrap both the Government and Lunar Council and rely solely on the delegate / founder

I like 3 and 2.

We can still do 3 and have political parties happen naturally.

For 3 I think the office names should be Internal Affairs, External Affairs, and Defense.

Border minister sounds dumb. We should keep that as defense. But yeah I was thinking we might need to scrap the culture minister.

Well due to past inadequacies with previous poll makers, we will need to reset the polling cycle for the JB. So I have you down for an upcoming JB poll, for a term beginning Nov 1.

Unless you want to accept the nomination for foreign minister. Alistia nominated 2 people, which you can't do. So I figured whichever is the first to accept, The Immortal Elysium or Gyuamno, will get the running ticket.

Alright well if neither of you two accept then Alistia's nomination will be void.

Strange that Alistia would nominate Elysium (no offense) but you did get impeached from the same position he nominated you for... LOL

Thats Alistia for you. He has his own way of doing (and not doing) things

I don't think getting rid of the current system is the answer, but we do need to fix it.

Names of the remaining positions if 3 is chosen can be voted on, I just choose 3 names that best indicated the Ministry positions and responsibilities. I also agree that in any event political parties will likely make a come back which I think wouldn't be a bad thing.
