Voting deadline: May 3213
Description[?]:
| I urge all parties to discuss this law propose in July 3082 by the Conservative Party. (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=313129) This would be a good solution to the problem of political instability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By the game mechanics alone, the cabinets have no actual function, except to show friendship relations between parties. To make the formation of Cabinets more relevant, and make the game more realistic, we propose that the parties in Solentia observe these RP conventions: 1). During a parliamentary term, each party in the Cabinet can request Coalition Vote(s) on a maximum of 3 articles (not necessarily in the same bill or at the same time). When a Coalition Vote is requested, all Cabinet parties should vote YES. 2). Coalition Votes can be requested only with articles connected to the ministries held by the party that is proposing, e.g. you can call for a Coalition Vote on education issues only if you control the Ministry of Education and Culture. 3). A Cabinet party can vote NO to a Coalition Vote, but that would force the breaking up of the Cabinet and the formation of a new one. |
