Bill: Establishment of a Premiership
Details
Submitted by[?]: 반동주의자당 (Bandongjuuijadang)
Status[?]: defeated
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 4172
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, Too much authority is concentrated in the hands of the "Steward of the Realm". We suggest the creation of a separate and independent Premiership selected by a democratic vote in the Legislative Council, and demand the Legislative Council be granted further powers to establish a cabinet by majority vote. The dictatorial powers enjoyed by the Steward must end. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, This proposal would de fact render the office of Steward powerless and superficial. Funny to see the extreme right wanting to create another totally unnecessary but well-paid political office. Livia de Ruh DPF Parliamentary leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Seems the Druidic-Bolshevik Front prefer the rule of a lame-duck Steward elected with small margins to the democratic consensus of the entire people as is represented in the legislature. We predicted the crazed elitists of the Druidic Popular Front would do so, both we and the electorate know the hatred they have for the people of this peninsular, yet it is interesting to see a party with "Democracy" in their name voting for less democratic oversight and accountability. Perhaps they should rename themselves the Party for Social Tyranny. Su-Jin Aurora Abarca Parliamentary Leader of the Bandongjuuijadang |

| Message | Mr Speaker, If the Social Tyrannycrats are so keen on their proposal for a unity government why are they voting against a bill that would give them the power to make it formally? Do they want the Steward to wipe their bums for them too? Young Kwan, Bandongjuuijadang MLC and Shadow Minister of Justice |

| Message | OOC: Also we really should free the power to suggest cabinets because it just makes the game better. Especially when we such a relatively inactive player as head of state. |
