Bill: Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Free Beluzians
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2084
Description[?]:
| Rutania is calling for a conferance to establish an international legislative body. The Free Beluzians feel that Beluzia should have a representative at this conferance. Being represented at this conferance does not obligate us to join any union or other legal body formed of that conferance, but would increase our prestige in said body if we joined from the very begining. I am only seeking to keep our options open. Addmendum: Maria Weimar, a member of the Free Beluzian Party, would be the Representative of Beluzia at this Conferance |

| Message | We support this idea. |
| Date | 16:32:53, July 20, 2005 CET | From | Partisans And Artisans League | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | I don't like the idea of "an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation" thingamabobber so I'm going to vote no. We need allies, not pointless chat. It will turn out like any other international body that has tried to do to much - costly, bereaucratic, corrupt and a social club for appeasers. |
| Date | 18:14:40, July 20, 2005 CET | From | Catholic Workers Movement | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | Appeasers need social clubs too! It might do good. It will do no harm. Why not support it? |
| Date | 18:27:12, July 20, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberal Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | I can only echo the sentiments of the Catholic Workers Movement |
| Date | 18:43:52, July 20, 2005 CET | From | Partisans And Artisans League | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | It will just mushroom into another bereaucratic mish-mash that will cost BILLIONS |
| Date | 18:44:07, July 20, 2005 CET | From | Partisans And Artisans League | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | That in my opinion is what is wrong |
| Date | 20:42:17, July 20, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberal Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | Some simple minimum standards to which private companies have to subscribe will not cost billions. Again, the PAL is fearmongering. Environmental regulation is normal for polluting industries. Should the government not also make sure that our children are properly looked after? |
| Date | 23:46:26, July 20, 2005 CET | From | Catholic Workers Movement | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | Huh? Wrong thread? |
| Date | 01:30:36, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | I think we should have a representative present if just to speak for our interests in the world; and let everyone know that we are at least making an attempt on the world stage. |
| Date | 01:50:38, July 21, 2005 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | The PPP Insists that the Peoples Reichsminister für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda, Niccolo Goebbels, be chosen for this mission. Only he can be trusted with confidence to knock the foriegn menace back on their heels. He is quite eager to put the fear of God into those depraved heathens! |
| Date | 02:54:43, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Free Beluzians | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | PAL, we in the FBP are not suggesting that we join such a Union, but rather attend the meetings that might lead to such a union. It might turn out that we would wish to join the union - and certainly give it the strength to not be rendered... stupid. |
| Date | 03:01:34, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberal Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | (OOC: oops. Wrong thread indeed. I was replying to the nurseries thing. I thought. Oh well.) The SLP agrees with the Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party. |
| Date | 03:19:26, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Free Beluzians | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | I then propose Maria Weimar of my own party to be the representative to this conferance. |
| Date | 11:38:13, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberal Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | Seconded. |
| Date | 12:15:29, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | Thirded; especially since you put the proposal up in the first place. |
| Date | 17:39:10, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Catholic Workers Movement | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | Seems reasonable enough. |
| Date | 19:13:07, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberal Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | I believe we have a majority here. I suggest to bring this to vote by form of a bill authorising Maria Weimar to be temporarily promoted to Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary on behalf of the President of the Beluzian Republic, to be the Beluzian representative at this conference. |
| Date | 23:50:16, July 21, 2005 CET | From | Partisans And Artisans League | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | This is an infringement of the powers of the Foreign Minister! You do not even respect the wishes of the Beluzian people who put him there! We would give the FBP our support but only as a fully fledged Foreign Minister. You are breaking down what little democracy you had left. |
| Date | 00:38:11, July 22, 2005 CET | From | Social-Liberal Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | As far as I know we have the right to vote on whatever pleases us as a parliament. And this is why I recommend the Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party propose a new cabinet that reflects the will of the people. |
| Date | 17:03:23, July 22, 2005 CET | From | Free Beluzians | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | PAAL - It was the NMRP that put your candidate as the Foreign Minister, not the people. |
| Date | 17:50:56, July 22, 2005 CET | From | Catholic Workers Movement | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | The Foreign Minister's policies are mostly contrary to the will of parliament. Time for a new Minister. |
| Date | 08:22:09, July 23, 2005 CET | From | Beluzian Labor Party | To | Debating the Conference on the Establishment on an Inter-Parliamentary Union Representation |
| Message | Labor believes that the foreign minister does not enjoy the confidence of the people, and would be surprised if the foreign minister even enjoys the confidence of the house. Labor supports diplomatic engagement - peace WITH our neighbours, not from them. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
