Since I am the Senior Legislator, I will gladly propose the referendum to the GA.
I raised a point of order to see whether than should come before Amric's bill, but the Deputy Speaker hasn't ruled, so you may just want to propose it without waiting for a ruling.
The original was posted in our caucus. I posted a version of it in the Speaker's office that corrected the spelling of "publicly" from "publically". You will need to also inform the ECB of the Economic Impact Assessment, which if it stays as mail ballot would round to zero percent of the budget.
Thannks Park, I was in a rush typing it (Meh, who needs spelling, I've gotten this far without it).
Now, onto business. If I may, I'll give a brief analysis of where we stand, in my eyes.
We have, in my opinion, been the strongest party in the GA. We avoided getting bogged down in the Speaker or Budget debates, we can been as a level headed party, not one to jump on issues and shout our heads off. The Census bill and the Referendum will probably pass multi-partisanlly, good calls. We will run into trouble with another bill I'd like to see, and Major Braxton's sports bill. The conservatives will attack it, but frankly if you push the fact that the budget is coming out of your office's budget, they shouldn't complain too loudly.
Per. Wamo, Gonzov and Reverend Park, excellent work. And Braxton, on the ministry front. If you get some publicity for your plan I think it will do us good. I need to kick up my ministry work a notch, I've got some plans but need to get feedback first. If we can be active, and communicative I think we can take a great deal of the next election.
You will notice that the PoL has suddenly unleashed a barage on the SiG's. Luckily none of those are big proponents of ours, frankly few of them will ever support the ELP. But I think we can nab a few. The SGG could be ours, lately I have been stressing the confusion and secrecy of the government, that will be a big campaign theme next round. Also, this whole speaker mess and the coalition will score us big points, I believe.
I will continue speeches to the public (thank you to those party members who have aided these speeches, we can hit them out in public, and they have no recourse) when issues arise, especially if they shoot down the monarchy referendum. If so, consider the election ours.
I know I am looking ahead but it doesn't hurt to plan early. Per Park, you have established yourself very well in the GA, and Gonzov, having your experience in there is helpful, especially in the leadership position. Major Braxton, excellent work as well, once your bill hits we will get you a great deal more publicity. I think the ELP has sort of faded into the background, what with all the scandals and events. That is a good thing, because it means we are getting things done. I especially love the subtle attacks against the coalition, we can use those come election time.

Gonzov is transfixed to the Television Screen
My God! That refinery...it's exploded!
Does anyone know what the hell is happening??

I suppose it is because he is against the Monarchy, but does not want to obstruct the will of the people.
Rest assured, I am 99% confident that there will be a "no" vote.

Senior Legislator Gonzov is correct. I thought that was clear when I deferred from proposing the bill. Your bill was much better than von Hapburgs hopscotch of flawed implementation ideas, so I facilitated the consideration of yours by the GA. Given that something was likely to pass, yours was better than his. Given that and the endorsement by the Royal Foundation, I didn't vote against. I expect that your bill will pass without my affirmative vote. We can then see what the people think.
Per Cain, is it true that you don't know anything about the Longarm buissness? Could you give us a transcript of the exchange in the Cabinet Room?
If need be I can. What I know about Longarm is what was told to me by my subordinates
It appears the office of Speaker may be declared vacant. Does our Senior Legislator wish to run again for the position?
The deputy speaker has put in an appearance, so he is back in the saddle again. Your time to be VP/Speaker will have to wait.
I was wondering about our efforts monarchy wise as it seems a little strange that while Mr Cain and my self are supporting the monarch the good reverend is not supporting it, and reverend I mean no disrepect in saying it in fact I respect your opionion and though we might disagree I would defend your right to say it, but I was wondering what direction we should be going in as we did get the Royal Foundations vote.
I thought it was matter of conscience. I am not claiming to represent the ELP when I recommend a "no" vote. I am not using party funds to run advertisments against it. We promised the Royal Foundation a referendum, and we delivered on that promise. Most of our supporters will vote "no". By being divided, we will not alienate our base.
"Sorry that I've not checked in for a while. I went abroad. What has happened while I was gone?"
There was an explosion and fire at refinery in Farpoint, Western Eutopia. The President and cabinet won't say much about it. The voters cast their ballots today on the Monarchy Referendum.
Well sir, welcome aboard. Do you have any questions or issues you would like to bring up?
