Bill: Cabinet Proposal of January 2442
Details
Submitted by[?]: Saiken Renmei
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill presents the formation of a cabinet. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. Traditionally, parties in the proposal vote yes, others (the opposition) vote no. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in and all parties in the proposal have voted yes, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2442
Description[?]:
We find the current cabinet obsolete and inefficient, as it has members from a defunct and totalitarian party (SFP) and has not yet managed to tackle with the nation's difficult financial situation. Therefore we propose a new, stronger and more homogenous coalition, sharing common principles, and dedicated to maintaining and defending the constitutional status quo and promoting stability, humanitarianism and moderation in the agitated political enviornment the city-states are going through. |

Message | The DSP believes all should be represented in the cabinet, but that the make-up should also reflect the size of each party, that is the CFP has more seats than the AUP etc, but it should be done in a way where all parties have atleast one seat. |
Date | 17:11:02, August 13, 2007 CET | From | Saiken Renmei | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 2442 |
Message | This is not a national union cabinet, but one with common ideals. The past cabinets have but all been composed of all the parties present at the certain time in the country, and most of them have proven inefficient. This does not mean that we don't consider DSP an important ally, esp. in the battle against unitarism, and we guarantee that it shall enter one of the future cabinets. |

Message | The only way that the DSP would support this is if it was given the position fo Science & Technology or Foreign relations. |
Date | 18:37:24, August 13, 2007 CET | From | Saiken Renmei | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 2442 |
Message | There has yet been no 'government' or 'opposition' in Sekowo, and this has to change. Anyway, cabinets with members from all parties are generally rare in real life, in fact they usually represent 'specific groups'. |
Date | 18:44:23, August 13, 2007 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 2442 |
Message | Why should we create division where none is required, unity is the key to harmony, success and peace. |
Date | 19:37:08, August 13, 2007 CET | From | Saiken Renmei | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 2442 |
Message | True, but this cabinet shall not be a 3-headed dictatorship, if this is what you mean. The peaceful conflict of ideas is the road to progress, as long as both sides respect each other's views and manage to reach a compromise. This is why it is natural there should be 2 sides involved, since before this parties used to agree or disagree with each other according to each separate bill, without having common goals. The new cabinet would create a normal and necessary division, essential in modern politics. |
Date | 22:40:56, August 13, 2007 CET | From | Sekowan Communist Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 2442 |
Message | At the very least, the Ministries of Finance and Foreign Affairs should have separate parties heading them. |
Date | 01:55:34, August 14, 2007 CET | From | Superhuman Creation Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 2442 |
Message | Why the hell is that Christian idiot getting so many places? SCP, Myself, and DSP should have responsibilities. Especially considering I have the secondmost seats in the apella. |
Date | 03:33:14, August 14, 2007 CET | From | Chattes en Chaleur | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of January 2442 |
Message | This is bill will set a horrible precedent if it passes. Vote no! |

Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
