((Avindian, would it be possible for you to do a referendum of the IG Greek pops to see if they would want their own autonomous government?))

((I have no idea how I'd begin to do this. Give me some kind of indication and I'd look into it.))

The following issues are up for a vote on the present ballot:

1) German Sovereignty Act --

1) The Italian Home Rule Act is repealed.
2) The Reichstag may not cede any of Germany's sovereignty in areas where the German Republic has controlled the region for a period greater than 50 years. ((Lands with a German core.)) This includes granting any sort of autonomy, limited or otherwise.
3) Article #2 may only be nullified if a supermajority of three-fourths of both houses agree to it.

2) Fairness in Government Act

1) No German cabinet may consist of members from only a single ideology. Ideology is defined as the present blocs in the Conclave, which are currently Communism, Socialism, Anarcho-Liberalism, Liberalism, Conservatism, and Reactionary.
2) Cabinet here is defined as "Chancellor, Foreign Minister, Minister of the Interior, Minister of War, Minister of Finance, or Minister of Education.

3) Italian Preservation Act

1. The Italian Home Rule act may only be removed with the consent of the Italian Parliament and Presidency.
2. Consent is determined by a vote in the Italian Parliament, wherein a 2/3rds majority as well as the Presidency approve of dissolving themselves.

Items #1 and #3 are not necessarily mutually exclusive. If item #3 is approved before #1, the Italian Parliament and Presidency would be required to consent to the dissolution; however, the second and third articles of the German Sovereignty Act would remain in force. All members from both houses are encouraged to vote. Voting will proceed until Monday at 10 PM (-6 GMT).

((Avindian I proposed a safety reform that you forgot to put on the ballot))

((You're right, I missed it.))

The Supreme Court also adds Herr Meningen's proposal for minimal safety standards for all German factories to the ballot; those who have not yet voted may vote for all four measures, those who have voted are encouraged to vote again, including a vote for or against the reform. Also, President von Dwyfor-Frauenkirche is reminded that he is no longer an active member of the Conclave and thus may not vote; he may choose to sign or veto a bill, but only after it has passed the Reichstag.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
 
1. Nay, unless I can somehow put a conditional that says Aye if Italian Preservation Act passes.

2. Nay, this is usually prevented by the coalition system anyway, and the current coalition needs another party to fill in the Conclave, anyway. When a ideology controls the Reichstag, it should be able to control the Coalition.

3. Aye, so we can finally put this debate to rest. Without this, we'd just be in an endless cycle of attempting to dissolve a body that has already been around for a few years. With each passing year, we run greater risk of annoying more people, with less to gain.

4. Aye, Minimal Safety is a right of the people, as they must be protected in the dangerous factories of our nation.

~Johannes Carile, Minister of the Interior
