Bill: An Act for a New Badaran State
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Badara - Queranzist Brotherhood
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 3367
Description[?]:
| So far the proposals for a new Badaran state have not been acceptable or successful. We propose this as the best option for a new Badaran nation. The head of state will be opened to elections and serve as a largely symbolic and representative position. Most powers include the appointment of mayors, state visits, etc. Most power lays with the legislature and the cabinet, headed by the Premier. We hope that this legislation can pass through parliament and bring about a new age in Badara. Through this act our nation can achieve the much demanded elected HoS position and we can be better classified as a democratic state. Upon the passage of this bill, the nation shall be officially titled as: Democratic Socialist Republic of Badara |

| Date | 18:13:13, September 18, 2012 CET | From | Red Vanguard Dominion | To | Debating the An Act for a New Badaran State |
| Message | OOC: We aren't brothers. The Radical League is controlled by EEL, the former leader (co-leader?) of Zardugal. Remember, we fought them back in the Great Majatran War? The war your party fled to Kafuristan during, despite the fact that we were at war with Kafuristan? Anyway, the three newest parties are all former players from Al'Badara's past: -The Radical League is the former Zardic New Democratic Party -The Defenders is the former Al'Badaran House of Al-Majali (which became Socialist Bloc), co-founders of The Union of Socialist Sultanates from decades ago. -United Badara is the former South-Kafuristani party, and our former nemesis during The Great Majatran War. IT'S GOOD TO HAVE US ALL TOGETHER AGAIN, LIKE A BIG HAPPY FAMILY For those newer parties (Freedom, DUP, Union of Working People) here is a detailed Wiki of the War http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Majatran_War Compiled and organized from 10 pages of all our Forum posts by the lovely Mr. EEL himself. |

| Message | @Movement of Strong Badara "Eternal Guide of the Vanguard Revolution & the Badaran State, Jalal Al-e-Ahmad; joined by the General Secretary of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Badara, Two Head of States?" Yes, this is modeled very much on how other nation's have handled demands for greater democracy while maintaining hereditary rulers. Such as in the monarchies of Terra were there is the King joined by an elected Governor-General. OOC: And in the case of RL, its like Canada, well sorta. There's two HoS, the Queen and Governor-General. Though of course, Canada doesn't elect the Governor-General, only parliament. |

| Date | 18:48:50, September 18, 2012 CET | From | United Badara - Queranzist Brotherhood | To | Debating the An Act for a New Badaran State |
| Message | The elected HoS will hold the limited powers there are in the HoS position (ie. mayor appointments, and whatever else the laws prescribe to the HoS). Jalal is purely symbolic and ceremonial. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
