| Message | Mr Speaker, The Leaguers have the distinct impression that in recent years, debate in our Holy Empire has lulled and that legislation is proposed and passed too quickly. The CIL is as much to fault as any other party, however, we feel that it is healthy for our democracy to have more debate on the Diet floor and that a limit on the number of articles that can be sent to vote without debate would be an important step forward. I now yield the floor to my colleagues for comment on this proposal. |
| Date | 22:26:01, September 05, 2010 CET | From | Alliance of Social Democrats | To | Debating the Parliamentary Debate Act of 2995 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Alliance of Social Democrats heartily embraces this proposal by our most esteemed colleagues, the Constitutionalist Imperial League. However, we believe that the proposal should be slightly modified. The legislative proposals should be open for debate no less than 9 months, and 8 out of 10 proposals should be subject to the rule. At this time, I yield my remaining time. |
| Date | 10:13:27, September 06, 2010 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Parliamentary Debate Act of 2995 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We can easily endorse the ASD's proposal. We also suggest that the authority to enforce this rule be given to the Lord Chamberlain, who is already the official in charge of enforcing parliamentary discipline. I yield. |
