| Message | oh right, forgot about that. so this is an RP'ed change: food minister is now the religion minister. Another world first! |
| Date | 19:49:26, October 09, 2005 CET | From | Cooperative Commonwealth Federation | To | Debating the Act establishing a ministry of religion and spirituality |
| Message | "Minister of food for the soul," maybe. |
| Date | 20:38:19, October 09, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Act establishing a ministry of religion and spirituality |
| Message | Shouldnt ministry changes require 2/3? |
| Date | 21:28:01, October 09, 2005 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Act establishing a ministry of religion and spirituality |
| Message | Hmm, I was thinking that too, it's something that needs to be clarified. |
| Date | 21:41:43, October 09, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Act establishing a ministry of religion and spirituality |
| Message | What's the consensus here? |
| Date | 21:42:07, October 09, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Act establishing a ministry of religion and spirituality |
| Message | 4 parties against, with a likely tie if Amyst still existed |
| Date | 22:39:31, October 09, 2005 CET | From | Cooperative Commonwealth Federation | To | Debating the Act establishing a ministry of religion and spirituality |
| Message | Maybe 2/3 would be more appropriate, and Amyst probably would have voted No. On the other hand, the Prime Minister can often create new portfolios in RL without asking parliament. It's not something we can actually ask Wouter to do, so it would have to be RP'ed either way. |
| Date | 23:26:31, October 09, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Act establishing a ministry of religion and spirituality |
| Message | perhaps this should be reproposed after an election and we determine ahead of time how many votes are needed? |
