Regarding the Default Seats of the Underhusen, what is your opinion on my suggested alternative?
I am suggesting a referendum as an alternative to the Default Seats of the Underhusen Act since it involves citizen engagement, reduces the possibility of a completely inactive Underhusen while still being able to "prevent an accidential, or purposeful, lock-up in which no resolution CAN occur at all. Essentially preventing any elections from taking place", which is also the main purpose of passing the Default Seats of the Underhusen Act in the first place. My suggestion does not remove the power of the current Underhusen to decide for the number of legislators in its successor. As long as the current Underhusen manages to pass an Underhusen Seating Act in time before the elections, this clause will not come into effect.
Well, really, the only advantage I see over the Default Seats Act is "citizen engagement," and that only applies if the UH does, in fact, neglect to pass a seating bill. I understand that citizen engagement is an important issue to be explored this term, but I think we can do a lot better than, "We didn't do our jobs, let's have you do it for us and call it democracy!"
Welcome to the campaign again.
At this point it seems obvious that there will be at least a push to amend parts of the Fundamental Laws. What one portion do you feel should be amended and how so?
A grammatical clean-up would certainly be a good step, but there seem to be much more qualified people than myself who are ready to take on that task. As I said above (and in previous campaign threads), I feel that the judicial system is broken. I feel that the current system provides little to no due process for defendants, and I also feel that the adversarial format does not suit Wintreath. Until we can come together and see how exactly Wintreath's judiciary evolves, reform of any one part will be difficult.
I will be hard pressed not to vote for a fellow Tool fan on principle, but right now I'll put on a mask of unbiasedness.
I'm glad you bring precedent up, because that is a rather big problem. Your campaign is exceptionally written, and you bring up a valid point about people's involvement on the RMB, but I'm not certain those who have thus far made their homes only on the RMB (where very silly discussions most often take place), instead of the forum would even truly be interested in politics, laws, and so forth.
Do you believe you would be a better candidate than Pengu, for example?
How specific. I believe Pengu to be exceptionally qualified as a Skrifa. In fact, we have a lot of similarities. We've both served in the Overhusen, we are both Jarls, we both entered the region and immediately became somewhat influential (I say this in the humblest way possible), and we both have grown personally connected to Wintreath. If there will be any discussion about the future of Wintreath, I expect Pengu to be involved in some level.
Concerning the residents who participate in RMB chatter - Yes, it is a very silly place, and yes, it is hard to get people excited about politics. However, this is not a politically-inclined region, so searching for "serious" people would be a waste of time. I'm not looking for law students, I just simply recognize that every NS resident that we can bring to the off-site forum is a new collaborator, recruiter, mentor, roleplayer, potential Thane, Jarl, Skrifa, Peer, Prince, etc. - no matter how silly they are.
