Unfortunately I will not be able too this time. But I really like this new format of being able to debate because sometimes as an MP it gets kind of stale with propose and vote then repeat so I really hope the debating factor stays for the long term!
America The Greater, Vordoslavia, Mjau, Vladyslak
Debates are definitely here to stay. Honestly, I can't believe I didn't do this sooner - thank you Gine Caruttiva for the idea!

Also, MPs, if you can't jump in and debate, there's still a lot of interesting topics being discussed about the bills in the Discord. You should read through some of what we've talked about, maybe it'll change your mind or help inform your opinion on a bill. Every bill author has been in the chat and has given lots of insight as to their bill's purpose.

MPs, here's an important change to the upcoming Voting Session: Mjau has elected to remove the Minister Removal Bill from the running. The debate period is still ongoing (it'll be shorter next time lol) but I will have an update about the specifics of the debate later on today.

Good morning my son
America The Greater, Vordoslavia
I'd like to give everybody on the RMB an update on where we've landed so far with the Parliamentary debate on the Discord:
[list]
[*]Mjau's Amendment to Article IX of the Constitution - Secret Ballot Amendment has seen some debate over whether a secret-ballot system can guarantee fairness. Proponents have largely accepted the bill as a step toward ensuring honest, secure voting.
[*]My Amendment to Article IX of the Constitution, reducing term times to 4 months each, was very briefly covered, and no issues have been raised yet.
[*]The Kaverian's Amendment to Article XII, clarifying the veto power, has been largely viewed as straightforward.
[*]The Kaverian's Motion to Accept PA-Bylaws I-V and PB-Bylaws I-III have seen their necessity and also some technical details questioned, but they appear largely uncontroversial.
[*]New United Common-Lands's Amendment to Establishment of the Election Commission has drawn questions about whether the bill would invite corruption. Proponents mostly claim that parties in the region are not relevant enough to require representation, and that the bill would help fairly represent independent candidates.
[*]The Kaverian's Amendment to Article V has faced criticism that the bill gives too much power to the Prime Minister. Proponents include most government members, who see the bill as a common-sense amendment which would help the government maintain efficiency.

Regarding Mjau's proposal on Secret Ballot (as it currently stands).
My personal recommendation to MPs: Vote Against
I agree, we need restrictions on individual responses during the election period, as this could influence voting. However, this current proposal will mean they never become published to the average voter.
We have always published the responses in full after the election, I think this is important as it helps to show if there have been any procedural errors or corruption because voters can see clearly if their vote was cast properly.
During my facilitation of the last four elections I've never had a request from a single resident asking their vote not to be shared. I think we should be able to share the votes afterwards.
See below my proposed change, which I will bring to the next voting session.
[Spoiler=Secret Ballot - My Proposed Changes]
"In order to ensure privacy and fairness during the election voting period, individual responses will be available only to the Governor and any officers deemed appropriate by regional law."

Yodle, Puttt, Vordoslavia
Love to see a process flow, however not sure how we can add that to the regional constitution
America The Greater, Puttt, Vordoslavia
you can, I've seen something like this somewhere
I can't remember

NUCL's recommendation destroys the purpose of the bill, which is to safeguard your votes from those who may criticize you for voting a certain way and to prevent peer pressure or harassment from interfering with everyone's right to vote for who they please.
New United Common-Lands, Puttt, Vordoslavia, Krayo29
ok

If someone was being harrassed because of who they vote for that would be against the code of conduct, In addition, freedom of speech and assembly are fundamental rights of the constitution.
If people feel like they don't want their vote to be publicly avaliable feel free to vote for the bill, however I personally have no issue with my vote being public. A system where these aren't avaliable post-election would be more susceptible to corruption. In the order of transparency I personally think it's important they are published.
Yodle, Puttt, Vordoslavia
yh, no names but percentages
Puttt, Vordoslavia, Mjau
Alright bro, last chance, leave America, you are not American, you are dirty colonialist trash that doesn't belong in Americas
Puttt, Vordoslavia
If you don't want names to be published you should vote for Mjau's amendment. However, I am recommending against as I feel there's no reason the responses cannot be published in full as per my message above
Lemona, Puttt, Vordoslavia
I wanna add an amendment to the constitution to make Gen Alpha phrases illegal

I would vote against. But hypothetically, you would need to remove the right to freedom of speech, or add this as a rule to the Code of Conduct
Vordoslavia, Mjau
I also believe that should be the case, so vote for the Secret Ballot Amendment 👍

No comment on the positions in the resolution, but Im very impressed with the process flow (its something that would work well for a lot of other aspects of the regional government) and the amount of work you put into writing the legislation!
Vordoslavia
wow! Are you a UN diplomat? quadruple citizenship?

The first Parliamentary debate has officially concluded. We didn't really break any new ground over the past few hours, so my summary from earlier today is still where we stand on the bills at hand. The bill authors now have a period of two days to make any changes to their bills, and if they do change anything, I'll report about it in detail here and on the Discord so all MPs are aware. Otherwise, I'll see you all on the 30th for the beginning of the actual vote.

Hmmm How can I make my people more patriotic. I need ideas.
Yodle, Vordoslavia
Parades and clarity I think. Do what overall public wants in general. Or show your might (technological, military, etc.), that works too. I think at least. Don't take my word on it.
Yodle, Vordoslavia
Apropos, anyone knows general ways to effectively decrease primitiveness and improve economy without..[I]unwarranted[/I]..side-effects?

Also one last thing I before I get to school:
hehehaw it has been a week since map update
Ok so theres this thing called education (Public of course), and it improves your scientific advancement.
That should help stop people praising animals as gods.
Vordoslavia
Or maybe that's just what they wanna do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you should claim Seychelles on the map!
My education's pretty good and scientific advancement is decent (both in top 30% worldwide if I remember correctly). Yet I'm still in top 5% on primitiveness. So yeah it's more like what Vordoslavia said
Vordoslavia
ofc am right, am just built different
my SA is in top 10% but still rising
yes
it's supposed to update every 1 to 2 weeks
Vordoslavia

You need a dipped beef, like really dipped
Need a Chicago dog
Go to Portillos for both if you want
Sadly not many games to go to you probably wouldnt want to
I mean there is baseball and basketball and hockey but no football (American)
There is soccer too (regular football) but that doesnt really matter
And dont put ANY ketchup on your hot dog
If you want ketchup you can have it on the side with fries
Thats all
Idk if youre still there or even went there yet but thats some advice
Also, your going north side, good
Avoid south side
Vordoslavia
I mean I love the white Sox but its best to leave the south side by itself
And the beans under construction so no that
