One instance wintermoot
One instance should have been enough. It's never good to belittle people's ideas.
But what if there is abuse in the future? Just because there is a lack of abuse now, doesn't mean that it won't happen afterwards.
There are a billion potential what-ifs out there, and given the past two years it's fairly unlikely that this is going to be a major problem going forward. We don't have a very political or judicial culture, and I don't foresee that being a big problem. Even if it is, it would be easy to make a law against judicial abuse, which would possibly be more effective than simply ignoring cases.
I've only seen 3 or 4 want more Monarchical oversight, which is far from the majority Wintermoot. Further I fail to see how given the monarch more oversight, into an area that the Monarch should not have, is a good idea.
There hasn't been a majority on any idea for judicial reform in over a year, including on your own proposals to work with the existing system. It's possible that this proposal will fail like so many others have in the past, but I believe that it's still worthwhile to suggest something different. I wouldn't have taken the time to write the legislation if I didn't feel that it was an idea worth proposing.
True, however I feel this will needlessly complicate our current system, and all of this can be accomplished without having to amend the fundamental laws, aside from giving the Adminstration more room to control Wintreath and thus removing a bit more power from the Government itself.
I don't believe that it would be that much more complicated than the current system, since we're just adding onto that. Again, many of our Citizens have supported a system that gives more authority to the Monarch and/or Founder, and this legislation was written with their opinions in mind.
Additionally, we have faced issues where the government and community don't feel they have the authority to deal with some disputes and transgression that get out of hand, which in part led to the revocation attempt against Govindia. By providing more ad hoc authority to the Founder, we could begin to moderate the forums like we do the IRC and issue summary punishments such as warnings and temp bans as a compliment to the punishments a court system can render (revocation, loss of positions, community service, etc).
It's possible...even likely...that this proposal will fail, but after seeing multiple attempts to reform the current system fail in the Storting, I feel that it's time to investigate other alternatives, and based on what I've heard I feel that this is the best possible alternative after giving the matter a lot of thought over the past few days, which is why I'm making the proposal.
