((EDIT: By the way, for people who've been asking, the confidence bonus does not apply to confidence votes themselves - it applies to all other actions of the parliament, to demonstrate that the large majority of the party of power makes it easier to get stuff done.
A confidence vote will prompt me to update the confidence bonus if the government survives.))

My lords of the Privy Council,
Our leader, Prime Minister Conte Bonaretti, has awarded many of us with high rewards for our service during the Springtime. However, in his modesty and decency, he did not even think of asking anything for himself - the man who saved the realm from revolution, under who has won the greatest acclaim of whole population by his patriotic actions and wise governance.
However the grateful kingdom has rewarded him with his widest support - and I believe that we cannot ignore the deeds of the Prime Minister and are obliged to ask His Majesty to commend his noble self in certain way. For a long time I have thought what reward would be appropriate for the Count of Nice who take the grave responsibility during the most terrible times and led the Kingdom through the most terrible of storms. It is hard to find something appropriate- however, I have the following idea. Conte Bonaretti is a man that symbolises victory for Sardinia-Piedmont - victory over the Hydra and victory of the royalism in the Kingdom. Therefore I suggest that we would ask His Majesty to grant Conte Bonaretti the honorary title of Marchese di Vittoria (the Marquess of Victory), that would forever immortilize his deeds in the memory of his descendants, that would inherit it - and would urge them to follow the steps of thier great ancestor. I ask the Lord President to open the vote on the matter.

Most Honoured and Learned Signor,
I today received instruction that I my services are desired as a member of the jury for the case of Grimani versus Bonaretti. Whilst loth to give the impression that I am at all shying away from public service, I feel that my presence on the jury on this occasion would not be within the best interests of the spirit of the law, and further would give possibility for the ultimate judgement of the court to be impaired by partiality. Noting that I would be the fifth member of the sitting Ministry to hold a position within the body as it currently stands, and noting also that this would constitute a majority of the panel potentially holding some form of allegiance to the dependent in the aforementioned case, I am of the opinion that, in the interests of upholding the free nature of the law and the judiciary from political interest, I must regretfully and humbly ask that I be excused from service on this occasion.
I offer my most profound apologies should this request be of too great an inconvenience to yourself, and must stress that it is only out of a desire to avoid leaving the Court open to accusations of partiality that I make this request. Naturally, should you, Signor, deem that my presence is required at a future hearing in which I hold no vested interest, I should be only too willing to oblige.

By Jove,
by Frederico del Idra
Might Jove's arrows strike twice on that same shore
Of the mighty Tiber where God abides?
Never taken by Tatar or the Moore,
But by the Magyar and his impious lies.
Might a city on a hill rise again,
Over Saint Peter's holy rock?
To stand and exorcise the Saracen,
from where once Emperors did walk.
Can we rebuild Jerusalem's temple,
And retake the holyland our birthright?
Or has our nature grown weak and gentle,
And incapable of vigorous might?
Can we bring about a heavenly reign?
Will trumpets sound to bring down Jericho's walls?
Or has Delilah shorn our lion's mane
And left our new Babylon as it falls?
Who will restore rule by le Christ Roi?
Rising from Piedmont, it is Savoy.

Thank you for the prior warning Signore Uleri, and I appreciate your modesty and pursuit of justice without bias. While I do feel as though you may contribute value to the jury, it is under your own control whether you partake or not and will see fit to accept your request. Many of my colleagues agree that you would be a fine man for a jury, and I will assuredly seek you out as a juror on potential future occasions.
