Region: The Thaecian Senate

History

Following Senate Chair Snowflame's resignation, this chamber is in desperate need of new leadership. The Chair you elect will be a guiding force in the times to come, times in which I'm sure the future of Thaecia will be decided. For that reason, I don't want to see any lack of candidates here. I hereby open the Standing Period. It shall last at least 24 hours or until every Senator has declared their intent or not to stand. I will not close the period until or unless we have at least one candidate.

Now, Senators of Thaecia, who shall stand for election?

I do not intend to stand

I hereby open the Statements and Discussion period. This shall last 24 hours.

Our two candidates are Sevae and New Central Iowa.

I think I'm the perfect candidate to put up to vote whatever we need for the revival of the region. I don't do much but I'm still around every day and am ready to answer whenever I'm pinged on discord

huh it seems like nobody has replied? shocker

The voting period shall last at least 24 hours or until every Senator has casted their vote.

For the record, your Chair candidates are Sevae and New Central Iowa.

I cast my vote for Sevae

I vote for myself. Oops

The vote hereby ends. With one abstention and two votes for Sevae, I hereby declare Sevae the Chair of the Senate. Congratulations, Seva.

I'm very excited to be saving Thaecia!

We are doing this radical bill by Cinema now

I'm a proponent of throwing things at the wall and see what sticks so I think we should pass this bill. It's definitely better than when nothing is happening like right now

As said by Cosmosplosion MP in #house-of-commons,

An opened convention has no guarantee of activity whereas if we elect members then we have a guarantee of participation. The last time Thaecia held a convention the membership was elected rather than open for all and it worked. There's no reason we should just go straight to basically direct democracy and ditch what got the region to where we are.

Look, the two options are between a totally opened convention and what I've proposed. I don't think it's sensible for us to be having a direct democratic convention, rather than have one that incorporates both representative democracy and citizens participation. It's not right for us to totally throw away what's brought us here. And what's the point of a convention that's totally open anyway? Why are people going to get invested and get involved? It'll just be left to inevitably three or four people to do everything.

Cerdenia originally proposed this sort of idea to me. He reasoned that this would be an amazing opportunity to discuss the big issues again (unicameralism, direct democracy, etc). New parties could form to try to run in this election and try to get their vision implemented into the new constitution. An open convention- what's that for? The big wigs of three or four people to sit around and dominate everything, without the thrill of elections to get what we want passed? We always used to say that elections every 2 months were what brought energy into the region. That's how we are where we are, and we shouldn't totally throw that away.

I've been the "stop politics" person for ages now. I don't think we should be a completely politics focused region anymore. But totally jumping away from that in one go- that's never been what I've supported, ever. That's reckless and irresponsible. We need this kind of convention to give people a reason to get invested in the region again.

Cerdenia, Sevae, Mardis, Obalostan

Minor author amendment to keep the WAD in office - no reason he should be affected by this.

"the serving Electoral Commissioner and the World Assembly Delegate are exempt from this."

I've been inspired by your post so I am officially couping NCI as leader of the Phoenix party and leading it to revival, starting now

Our party has existed in the shadows for more than a year now, it is time to bring it forward once again. I have absolutely no idea how I can revive it or why I'm doing it but I want to be a hero and if there's anything I know about heroes is they're completely clueless half the time and survive on sheer passion (and plot armour)

Also, please remove the Vice Delegate from the list of people getting removed
