Josephus I said:
So, we're voting on the already accepted ammendment?
Now that the GA have amended as they see fit, they are voting to see whether they approve the whole thing. It can appear redundant, but in other cases it isn't. Suppose a law was proposed banning the use of leaf blowers by the Green Party. An amendment to water it down, making an exception between October 1st and November 30th is proposed by the Garden Party and passed with support from all parties, even the Greens as they think it will make the bill more likely to pass and those generally opposed to measure view some possibility to use leaf blowers better than none. Another amendment is proposed by the Quiet Nights Party banning the use of leaf blowers between 6 PM and 8 AM on any date, which passes with general support. The Garden Party and the Toolmakers Party have more seats than the Green Party and the Quiet Nights Party, so the overall bill, as amended goes down to defeat.

The rule, I believe, is that it must officially be announced that someone is taking a GA seat, and that must occur before debate on an item for them to be eligible to vote on something.

Aside from the fact that one must be a member of the GA, and announce the fact in that they are taking a GA seat in the Assemblyhall, who can vote on what is more or less at the Speaker's discretion. This has been the rule used thus far.

The only real rule from our side is you have to be in the GA, and you need to announce that you're in the GA to actually be in. Keep in mind that the stuff going on in your HQ thread, where you were accepted, is not public, so the point is to keep everyone informed.

yes , he simply must announce within the GA that he is now a JL for the ENP. I am unaware of any rule requiring him to be a MGA during the debate in order to vote on it , anyone can follow debate of an issue without being a member of the GA.

edit : excellent point , I just did not type fast enough

Yes, I agree. It is most important that each party get to vote all its seats. If they rule was you had to be an MGA for all the debate, then the flexibility of changes would be drastically reduced, or some voters would be thereby disenfrancised. Therefore, despite one Speaker having ruled otherwise, it is probably a good idea to ignore that precedent and allow anyone properly seated to before a vote is announced to vote, and thus anyone leaving should vote before reliquishing the seat. As these are usually backbenchers it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, I guess this is the end...

I feel really, really, really bad about this. An Eutopian life so long and illustrious, ends in fading away slowly and stupidly, leaving an important story hanging, and rather feebly and idiotically mumbling "sorry guys"...

Sorry guys
:(

Meh, if you want to return, we'll hopefully still be kicking around. Prolonged leaves of absence don't tend to hurt characters, it just means they come back looking like elder statesmen rather than partisan figures.

Has anyone considered the positive economic impact that the spending of all the aid by the WE displaced persons will have on the economy. Unlike filthy rich people , poor folks have to pump every dime they have into the economy to survive , no "savings" account for them!

Evidently, studying for finals makes me prickly. EZ, give me an opening for the sake of fairness. ;)

Who were the five presidents?

We had Gonzov, Leary? Glasser, who else?

Edit: Nevermind, whoever wins the election will be fifth after Vanderleft.

VS said there were five already. I don't even remember Leary being president.
