Chanku for Underhusen

  • So before we get into the meat of things, let me introduce myself to anyone who doesn't know me or my qualifications.

    Qualifications
    • I worship the Holy Spud
    • Helped write the Fundamental Laws
    • Helped write several of our laws
    • I've been consulted by other sessions and members of the Storting for advice on legality
    • I was the sovereign of the Celestial Union, and also its last Sovereign.
    • I've been a part of Wintreath for nearly my entire time in NationStates (excluding the first few days I joined NS).

    So now what are my goals?
    • Reform of the Judiciary - The current procedures are a bit of a mess and are very biased against the person filing the charges.
    • Constitutional Reform - There are various issues with our current constitution, which should be fixed, including the fact that there is no explicit supremacy instead relying on implicit supremacy.
    • Statutory Law Reform - Reform various acts to help consolidate laws, and to lessen the likelihood for laws being forgotten to be logged. I would push for either consolidating like laws together, or creating a Wintrean Legal Code which would contain and be the main source for all laws under the Fundamental Laws.

  • Greetings, Chanku, and welcome to the campaign! I have a few questions. :)

    1) As some of us remember, your last term was controversial because of your response to Crushita wanting to modify one of your bills. Is there anything you'd like to say or address about that situation now that some time has passed and you're running for election?

    2) What do you mean when you say "there is no explicit supremacy instead of relying on implicit supremacy"?

    3) You talk a lot about reform...is there a region that you feel is a model for any of the reforms that you mention?

    Unfortunately, I can't really just excuse that behavior, as it was rather unacceptable. I ended up taking a bit of a break from Wintreath (Not just for that, but it is what lead to me deciding to take a break for a bit)

    There is no clause in the Constitution which elevates it to a status that is above all laws. Instead we rely on the concept that it is implicitly above all laws. As such we rely on a notion instead of actual law, which a future court could rule that it lacks supremacy.

    I don't believe that there is one singular region that we can use as a model. If we were to use a model though I think various other governments around NS could provide a decent base to work from.
