Bill: Corrective Cabinet Proposal
Details
Submitted by[?]: Tuesday Is Coming
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: April 2115
Description[?]:
| TiC policy is against forcing Ministers to serve against their will The current cabinet passed, however some disturbing things are noted: The Prime Minister has OOC reasons to prefer a different post The Minister of Infrastructure voted against the cabinet The Foreign and Internal Affairs Minsters indicated support for the cabinet, but abstained from voting This cabinet is proposed to rectify the first two issues, by a simple shuffle between RCP, CA, and DSP. The Green Action and PCL are expected to indicate whether they support the cabinet corrections as well. |

| Message | Fine by me. I thought i had until June 2114 to vote on the last cabinet, but cabinet bills seem to pass as soon as they get 50%. If things are up for discussion, then the CNT (the only LLF member excluded) might be offered a post, if one of the other parties is inclined to give up a spot. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
