Bill: Cabinet Proposal of May 2344
Details
Submitted by[?]: AM Populist Social Democrats
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill presents the formation of a cabinet. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. Traditionally, parties in the proposal vote yes, others (the opposition) vote no. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in and all parties in the proposal have voted yes, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2345
Description[?]:
| This cabinet complies with an agreement between the PLPL and the LITP in return for the PLPL endorsement of their Emissary candidate. We needed a third party to make a majority, so we included the RWL party, one which is probably the most overall "centrist" party in the nation. If the LITP wishes to include a different party instead, we will consider it if we get the posts this cabinet gives us, a relatively small amount to ask given that we are only asking for four seats despite being the largest party and the most important of the four seats for which we ask was part of the agreement. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
