Hi everyone! As the new Speaker of Parliament, it's my responsibility to introduce bills for discussion and voting. To that end, I'd like to introduce our next bill in line, the Political Party Reorganization Act, authored by The Washington Federation![spoiler=The Political Party Reorganization Act]T.R.T.H.N.B.B. Regional Parliament

Legislation Code: GL-4

"The Political Party Reorganization Act"

Representatives of the United Commonwealths of the Washington Federation have come forward to propose legislation regarding the five political parties of the region at present, and others to come, as their influence seems naught in the current regional political system. Thus, the proposition of the Political Parties Act. The articles below shall detail the process by which political parties are handled should this bill come to pass.

This bill defines a "political party", and derivative terms thereof, as a faction within regional politics, of which they have influence within.

Article I - Purpose

[list=1][*]In compliance with the "Parliamentary Reformation Act", political parties shall no longer be formally represented in the regional parliament, instead allowing aspiring nations of any size to fill empty seats in the parliament.

[list=a][*]Even despite this stipulation, political ties via these parties may act as a voting coalition in the parliament should they agree to.[/list]

[*]The agendas of the political parties shall reflect what they can do for the region rather than focusing on real-world political issues, deemed mostly irrelevant.

[list=a][*]In this regard, the implementation of real-world issues into a party agenda shall rather be seen as engagement in political roleplay.[/list]

[*]Each party, should they not withdraw from an election, shall provide a candidate for the prime ministership. (Other nations may still be independent candidates)

[list=a][*]Candidates cannot be chosen by parties if they have been prime minister for 4 terms or greater.[/list][/list]

Article II - Membership

[list=1][*]The region shall see to it that it provides a means for regional citizens to join political parties, requirements to be determined.

[*]Should the party membership process be done via form, the form organizer shall see to it that they disclose aspiring party members to party leaders and the regional government, or otherwise accessible to government members and party staff. (Other processes may be considered if necessary)[/list]

Article III - Party Officers

Section I - The Party Leader

[list=1][*]The leader of a political party shall be the founder of the party.

[list=a][*]The founder of the party may instead designate a leader if they wish.[/list]

[*]Should the party leader assume a judicial office, the office of the prime minister, or the office of the speaker of parliament, they are to relinquish their duties as party leader to the designated chief advisor.

[*]Should the party leader cease to exist on the site, the chief advisor will assume the role of party leader until they return at any point.[/list]

Section II - The Chief Advisor

[list=1][*]The chief advisor of a political party shall be the most senior of all present party members. (In other words, the nation with the oldest founding date in the party)

[list=a][*]The only exception is if the most senior member is the party leader, wherein the second-oldest nation in the party is designated as advisor.[/list]

[*]The chief advisor acts as an advisory figure to the party leader, aiding in their decision-making should the advisor consider doing so.

[*]The chief advisor has the authority to take over leading duties should the party leader be appointed to a higher position or not be present.[/list]

Section III - Miscellaneous Positions of Power

[list=1][*]The party structure of recognized political parties can also include other positions of power in party hierarchy other than leader and advisor, examples being:

[list=a][*]Head of Communications - The official in charge of negotiating with other parties and documenting party happenings.

[*]Government/Party Representative - Multiple of these may be appointed. They, along with other party higher-ups, can come together to democratically make decisions as a party. (At most 5 are recommended)

[*]Chief Whip - The official in charge of ensuring party members are active participants. Should one be appointed, they are also responsible for the discipline of party members (this is otherwise delegated to the leader).[/list][/list]

[/spoiler]

This bill will be opened up for voting soon, but I'd like to first provide you with an opening remark by WF about the bill.

WF: As the region's political parties grow irrelevant with the passage of the parliament reform, this is a proposition that gives them a new purpose in regional politics. This bill defines the new purpose for political parties, an outline for opening membership opportunities, and defining the roles that party officials will have.

I'd also like to invite any opposing voices to TG me or message me on Discord and I can publish a summary of any rebuttals. MPs, please give this a read! If you have any thoughts, feel free to post them here on the RMB or in the Discord, as long as you keep it civil. Happy Friday everyone!

[list=1][*]The chief advisor of a political party shall be the most senior of all present party members. (In other words, the nation with the oldest founding date in the party)

[list=a][*]The only exception is if the most senior member is the party leader, wherein the second-oldest nation in the party is designated as advisor.[/list]

[*]The chief advisor acts as an advisory figure to the party leader, aiding in their decision-making should the advisor consider doing so.

[*]The chief advisor has the authority to take over leading duties should the party leader be appointed to a higher position or not be present.[/list]

Section III - Miscellaneous Positions of Power

[list=1][*]The party structure of recognized political parties can also include other positions of power in party hierarchy other than leader and advisor, examples being:

[list=a][*]Head of Communications - The official in charge of negotiating with other parties and documenting party happenings.

[*]Government/Party Representative - Multiple of these may be appointed. They, along with other party higher-ups, can come together to democratically make decisions as a party. (At most 5 are recommended)

[*]Chief Whip - The official in charge of ensuring party members are active participants. Should one be appointed, they are also responsible for the discipline of party members (this is otherwise delegated to the leader).[/list][/list]

[/spoiler] opens today, so I'd recommend reading the bill soon and deciding where you stand. As always, I'd love to see feedback or (civil) debate in the RMB or the Discord!
