Bill: Cabinet Reshuffle of January 2557
Details
Submitted by[?]: People's Radical Party
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: October 2557
Description[?]:
| The rationale behind such a cabinet is as follows: 1. The KHP lost a considerable proportion of its support at the last election, such that a cabinet reshuffle is required. 2. The Poe Party has shown an ability to work well with the other members of the cabinet (voting with at least one of the other three parties somewhere around 2/3 of the time). 3. While the RSPH lost support as well, the party is already contributing a comparatively small number of Ministers, presumably as a result of its presence at the top of the tree, so to speak. We will leave this proposal on the table for the moment, to allow comment regarding any potential changes. |

| Message | Should this cabinet fail, the PRP will propose another one in which the Poe Party's positions are taken by the FIBB and GUBA parties. A 6-party coalition may appear unwieldy, but the parties in question have shown an admirable level of public spirit by approving a cabinet in which they have no representation. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
