Bill: Restoration--It is the Will of the People
Details
Submitted by[?]: Restoration Party
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: December 2299
Description[?]:
| The People have spoken, and how. They want a return to our history. The Federation needs a change. It needs to restore it's traditional liberties and history. So that we can both be interesting, but with an organic link to our past and a clear bridge to our future. Therefore, the RP proposes, along with its allies: Restore the Emperor, who would be elected by each of the five-elector kings, and is likely to be the pretender to the throne of Bandorra. Recognise the: House of Arglon House of Tirkalara House of Dugathan House of Hulbark and of course the House of Bandorra The powers of all of these people will, of course, be largely ceremonial, though they do have influence with the individual peoples. This would require no new federal expenditure. |

| Message | Frankly, "Emperor Emperor Zhikep III" sounds stupid, if not downright ridiculous. I also propose each of this new kingdoms be given equal representation in the Consortium - aren't all monarches equal? (at least, that's how I intepret it, with the Bandorran king being first among equals) |

| Message | Well, we can change Emperor Zhikep to Zhikep pretty easily! Not sure i get your point about each given equal representation in the consortium? |

| Message | Opposed. Not just for the name reason. People should be equal, a hereditary head of state means they are not equal. |

| Message | that's insane! They've no special priveledges, and its great for tourism! |
| Date | 21:46:39, October 12, 2006 CET | From | True Valruzians | To | Debating the Restoration--It is the Will of the People |
| Message | No two people are born the same, no two people have the same abilities, therefore people shouldn't be equal, except before the law. |
| Date | 12:36:45, October 13, 2006 CET | From | Valruzian National Party | To | Debating the Restoration--It is the Will of the People |
| Message | So you're saying people born in to the family of Zhikep (should he be HoS) deserve to inherit that position because of their family? Absurd. |
| Date | 15:20:02, October 14, 2006 CET | From | United People's Party | To | Debating the Restoration--It is the Will of the People |
| Message | In the paraphrased words of Thomas Paine, the idea of a hereditary head of state makes as much sense as a hereditary mathematician. |
| Date | 16:00:32, October 14, 2006 CET | From | True Valruzians | To | Debating the Restoration--It is the Will of the People |
| Message | Intelligence can be inherited, or at least some of the genes that aid with learning, so the child of a mathematician may well have better inherited skills that allow that child to do well at maths. However as that is irrelevent, RP we now have the popular support to pass this Bill, put it to vote ASAP. |
| Date | 18:37:47, October 15, 2006 CET | From | Federal Progressive Party | To | Debating the Restoration--It is the Will of the People |
| Message | Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 2/3 * 500 = 333 and 228 + 76 (seats of TV and RP respectively) = 304? |

| Message | FPP, I have made it clear before I'll be willing to back the monarchy, and as a coalition partner of the RP and TV, your overlooking of the Ba'athists is noted by our leadership. |
| Date | 22:47:55, October 15, 2006 CET | From | True Valruzians | To | Debating the Restoration--It is the Will of the People |
| Message | And there we have it gentlemen, the monarchy is to be returned. |
