Bill: Call for early elections, November 2105
Details
Submitted by[?]: Commonwealth Workers Army
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill requests an early election. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline. Elections will be held immediately if the bill passes.
Voting deadline: July 2106
Description[?]:
| We, the Anarch Anakrousite Party, call for early elections as soon as we can reach a consensus. We are pushing straight to the vote, since we wish to see if there is ANY justification for claims of mandate. |

| Message | It will be an iteresting experiment, and very telling, to see how long it takes for this motion to stand or fall. |

| Message | well, you could just have asked me to bring my similar bill to the vote, but I will support anyway, and kill mine if it passes |

| Message | huh? The CPL is confused by the fact that there are two very similiar bills being proposed, but we shall support this anyhow. |

| Message | I expect this is not going to pass unless some of the inactive parties are deactivated before the end of the voting session. |

| Message | It was just an experiment... pushing this one straight to the vote. I had no way of knowing how soon or often other parties would be around. The fact that so many parties are currently either entirely inactive, or mainly inactive, was kind of the point of the vote. I don't honestly expect the LPE vote to get enough support at the moment to pass, despite the fact that Likatonia so obviously NEEDS it's power redistributed. The AAP did not want to 'waste' the LPE bill by getting it pushed through immediately. And, when the AAP vote fails, the LPE debate is still standing - hopefully until some parties are deactivated, or return to the political arena. And, if this one passes... well, there's no reason why we shouldn't have a recall election a few months later? |

| Message | pointless as there is an election coming up in 2 years that is nothing to wait. |

| Message | Response to the FCol: OOC: Isn't 2 years another 4 days? Some of the parties here are active on a more-than-daily basis... and are becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of activity, and the inability of small-but-active parties to DO anything. |

| Message | yeah, it seems kinda long to those of us who have nothing to do... I need a job. Somehow it is difficult to make running a virtual party take all day. Personal boredom aside though, there are three of us who are here a lot and we have the fewest votes, which is why the discontent is rife. |
