Question / Discussion Topic:

What do you think your candidacy for Speaker's biggest strength(s) and biggest weakness(es) is/are? This question is deliberately vague so you can each answer it how you like. Not that I'd expect you two to do so but please be sure to use this not as a venue to attack the other campaign, but to reflect on your own candidacy.

I'd say that my greatest strength is my experience in the council, and more so as a citizen. I have an in depth understanding of how The League works thanks to my experience in multiple organs of it's government as well as my consistent activity on all platforms within The League. My greatest weakness I think would be my slow reaction time to immediate events, as most operations of government take place very late at night, I often learn about them the day afterwards, which would make it difficult for me to react quickly to events that need my attention.

Thank you Malgax and New Makasta. The next topic will be out later this evening.

Are you interested in getting involved in regional affairs in a low-pressure but engaging way?

Announcing... the World Assembly Program!

If you're looking at this from the future and it's a dead link, it's because I had the dispatch moved to Paleocacher's nation.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1544055

Info:

The WAP is our region's new World Assembly dept. It will be under the Consulate of the Republic and organized rather casually - anyone can join if they meet the below requirements and you will be able to vote on (via the bot) and debate/discuss proposals and other WA affairs.

Requirements:

1. Be a citizen.

2. Have a WA nation in the region (exceptions provided to deployed LDF members).

3. That's it.

If you want to be added to the program upon its upcoming launch, react to the Discord announcement with the WA emoji or contact me privately - If you do so and meet the requirements, you will be added.

Shoutout to Crowheim, Asdersland, and Astrobolt for the feedback and suggestions in planning and launch! (If you quote this message, please do not tag them again otherwise I will yell at you)

Yea there are questions I could specifically ask Makasta and specifically ask Malgax due to one of them being incumbent and one of them not, but I've opted to not do so in favor of more general discussions on specific policy issues. I came up with a good one for tonight I think.

That said, citizens (or residents I suppose) are welcome and encouraged to ask the candidates questions themselves. They just won't go into the comparison dispatch unless they both comment on the issue (which isn't the case for an incumbency-specific question).

I passed CRL#25, a bill that reformed The League's legal code from an outdated monolith of irrelevant legal jargon and archaic regulation into a modern code that better serves the region and it's people. Also, I noticed your criticism about "banning giving things to League officials," it doesn't do that, it just bans giving them things in exchange for doing things with the office they currently hold.

Tag: The Tirol Region

While I understand the ambiguity, I'll try to clear things up a little bit. Disclaimer: This hypothetical and while it's my opinion as Chief Consul, it shouldn't substitute for a hypothetical official and full court opinion if one were requested by a citizen.

[list]Bribery of officials is considered the action of giving League officials, be they council members, diplomats, or other office holders acting in the service of the Republic something in return for an action by the official.[/list]

This is the section in question, yes? So while it's not worded as clearly as it could be (sorry Malgax) unless a really convincing argument were made in court that it means the person overall and should be nullified on those grounds, I find it likely that the law would be interpreted and understood to mean "action by the official" as an action executed in the office and capacity of the person in question. Just my two cents.

Thank you for your answer, and I agree CRL#25 was certainly a vast improvement and update upon its predecessor.

Do you have anything to say in regards to the second part of my question, "Additionally, what actions have you taken to progress in the areas you have outlined your support for in response to Quebecshire?"

On the note of my criticisms of the law, the omission of the qualification that the action be utilising the office is a cause for unnecessary legislative ambiguity leaving far too much to interpretation, of course as Quebec says it would take an exceptionally strong argument for someone to persuade the present consulate to carry out the law in the strictest sense, but this, in my view, is not an ambiguity that should have been present in the first place.

Malgax wrote:Time to utilize the Addition of New Sections To CRL#25 clause!

Quite, if I hadn't been going into exams I'd have endeavoured to immediately pass such an amendment.

Creeperopolis

The Tirol Region wrote:...as Quebec says it would take an exceptionally strong argument for someone to persuade the present consulate to carry out the law in the strictest sense....

I feel like it's worth noting that even if we were persuaded, the law would not be enforced as such, in my view. If the Consulate interpreted the law to mean the broader or person-scale definition, I find it likely that said understanding would be followed by a nullification on constitutional grounds.

You say your greatest weakness is a lack of experience in NS politics. In terms of the Council itself, in the previous legislative session, what actions, if any, have you taken to encourage activity and the passage of legislation in the council as is the remit of the speaker?

Creeperopolis, Quebecshire, New Makasta

Did Makasta write a bill to refrom CLR#25? I didn't think so, he's too busy posting goose gifs in #Spam-and-ect. This is why you should vote for Malgax in the upcoming speaker election.

SPEAKER OF THE 13[sup]th[/sup] COUNCIL OF THE REPUBLIC ELECTION

Candidates:

Malgax

New Makasta

Question / Discussion Topic:

Many regions have formal processes and definitions regarding which institutions can ban people and for what reasons. Most places call this a "persona non grata" proceeding, or something to that effect. Should the Council consider legislation to define and better direct such processes for relevant Council-derived authorities, such as the Department of Defense?

[spoiler=[Consult This] General Note and Explanation on "Council Derived"]Obviously, as implied if not directly stated, this exclusively refers to people being for in-character reasons such as lawbreaking or whatnot. i.e. not people banned by the out-of-character administrative/moderator team.

Also, the reason I say "Council-Derived" and not any institution is that generally, the constitutional principle makes it so that the Council cannot regulate much of the Consulate nor its subordinate institutions without its consent, and generally vice versa. This has especially been the case since Consulate-Convened Court of Appeals, 16 December 2020. That said, the Council could legislate a process by which certain bodies established by its own laws could move for bans, likely with Consulate approval thereof. It's what you make of it beyond the legality notes, really.[/spoiler]

This is an interesting topic as the council has not encountered a situation (that I am aware of) where a subordinate institution banned a persona non grata at the behest or approval of the council. I think that legislation should be passed that makes it so that if the Director of Defense, or Director of Foreign Affairs was to ban someone, they should go to the council to approve the ban by majority vote of the Council Delegates.

Interesting perspective - though I must admit I would be hesitant to approve such legislation. I've been deeply critical of the FCN and RCN's processes that allow the legislature to ban people, as I think it creates a sentiment of mob rule.

Alternatively, I might suggest allowing the Council to call a hearing on the matter and recommend future action, instead of having a binding reversal vote. Do you have any notes or criticisms on such a possible compromise?

While I would disagree with your comments about “mob rule” that’s not the topic of the discussion. I would support this compromise suggestion however, as long as the ban be put on memorandum until the council gives its recommendation, as well as including punishments for ignoring the process.

I fundamentally disagree with giving the legislature banning powers - though perhaps the ability to reverse said bans with caveats would be reasonable, as you suggested. Are these policies and regulations applying to everyone or just residents?

Citizens are already covered in a right to a trial, so we're mostly talking about residents and below, or those already convicted.

I know, you don't have the authority to do so.

What I'm asking is if the institutions in question would have to go through the same process to remove a non-resident as well as a resident. I.e. is the same level of scrutiny to be applied to removal of foreigners, in your vision?

I believe that we should both have a constitutional clause and a process for ratifying treaties with other regions. Specifically, I believe that as the Department of Foreign Affairs is a sub organization of the Council, I think that all treaties negotiated by The League should be put to approval to the council, much like a CRB or CRM.
