Well, I guess its' that time again. So the forum calendar says, at least.

I suppose we'll need to wake the Chief Justice to hold the actual voting, though... :fight:

I don't think the King Regent should also be Chief Justice

From the vulgar McMasterdonia's viewpoint the terms dictatorship and democracy are mutually exclusive. Failing to understand the theory of class struggle, and accustomed to seeing in the political arena the petty squabbling of the various regional, Pacifian and endogamy circles and coteries, McMasterdonia conceives dictatorship to mean the annulment of all the liberties and guarantees of democracy, tyranny of every kind, and every sort of abuse of power in the personal interests of a dictator.

I don't think that adequately describes my proposed system at all.

Direct democracy comprising all members who wish to join the Senate. Unlimited legislative power by the Senate, yet the ability for the monarch to step in, in the event of a crisis or inability to govern.

It gives us a plan for the future and protects the rights of citizens.

How can you call it direct democracy if you confine it on the concept of senate, with "unlimited legislative power" but then a monarch save it, like of he's an automaton fireman, ready to put out a fire by the press of a button. That way you will always keep the Senate hostage by another power, completely useless, unless someone - you? - does not agree with the will of the People, and feel they're doing the right thing by stepping in. Why wouldn't an assembly of People have the right to deliberate in the event of a crisis or such "inability to govern"? Why do they need a monarchic plan for their future? protecting their rights or rather protecting the power of a king?

People cannot be subject to your monarchy, hostage of your whim, only a participative democracy without rulers coercing it's will, a full direct democracy, that do not address the issues of a monarchy, but the issues of the People, organizing itself by need instead of hierarchic status. It's the government that has to follow the will of the people, not the other way around.

Nominate people. You have till Tuesday.
Today's date is: Today is Jocidi, 5 Cielidor AR 5 - Day 1770 of the Glorious Revolution.

Many trials make manifest
The stranger's fate, the curses' bane.
Many touchstones try the stranger
Many fall, but one remains.

Can I be Delegate of the forum and delegate the delegate of NS to someone else? I don't want to do it.

And shut up Delfos. The reserve powers are only there for an emergency, get your tits out of a twist.

I won't use them unless the region is in a state where the Senate cannot act.

Nobody shuts me up! You have the opportunity of stepping away and let people have the power! Down with the ruling class!

You are a member of the ruling class. Whether you admit it or not.

Ignorance is bliss, apparently.
