NSG Senate Coffee Shop: 50% off Americanos [NSG Senate]

[Rumostan]

Just realised, when I put in suggestions from others I never remembered to resubmit it to the coffee shop and seen as little seems to be happening I the coffee shop, may as well do it now.

Aurentine Youth Senate Act

---

Author: Britanno (PC)

Sponsors: Gothmogs (TR), Geilinor (LD)


UNDERSTANDING that Aurentine citizens under the legal voting age are not given a chance to have any part in our democracy.

AWARE that many young people feel left out of democracy and wish to have their voices heard by the government.

RECOGNISING that Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child declares that "every child has the right to say what they think in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously".

ESTABLISHES the Aurentina Youth Senate.

1. Youth Senators

a) In each constituency, one Youth Senator will be elected by the people under the legal voting age who live in that constituency.
b) All the Youth Senators in the country will meet on a monthly basis to debate and raise issues that young people are having.
c) The Senator and Youth Senator for each constituency should meet every fortnight to discuss issues that both adults and children are having in order to provide the best service possible to their constituents.

2. Youth Senate Powers

a) Youth Senate bills may be considered in the binding Aurentine legislature if sponsored by five national legislators in good standing.
b) The Youth Senate shall be able to meet with the Senate at least once every six months to give their say on how our nation is run.
c) The Youth Senate shall not have any active participation in the passing of bills in the Senate that were created by Senators.

This really isn't a good idea...

How so?

[Rumostan]

This really isn't a good idea...

How so?

Oh actually, no don't worry. I thought this was the previous attempt which tried to give the Youth Senate the power to halt bills. I see no problems with this, I shall sponsor.

[Liberated Counties]

I'll sponsor the youth senate act. It'll be good to get youth more involved with how their nation is run.

I would like to remind everyone that we use UTC and no Senator here can say that they are a special flower and use another time zone, we use it because it connects everyone irl and also because we are in UTC time because of our geographical position.

Actually, taking from our position, we are in Central European Time.

There's an act (Time Zone Act) in the queue, under Standards of Daily Measurement, proposing CET due to the fact everyone around us uses it.

wtf is CET?

It wouldn't be particularly hard to a) Google it or b) guess from Ainin's above post.

But it's Central European Time.

We really should just use UTC... Universal

There is no need to use it, we have nothing to do with most of the countries around us and remember, the only reason most of them use CET is because of the EU which we are not in.

We should use CET cause that's what everyone around us uses. Seriously, eurosceptism isn't an excuse for using a random time zone no one around us uses.

And Alegria, Tunisia and Switzerland aren't EU last time I checked.

Yes, but for the sake of ease wouldn't it be just simpler to use UTC?

And, no I'm not eurosceptic

If were making it easier, we would use CET. Everyone else around us uses it, and using UTC+0 would just be a mess.

Fair enough, I concede

I'm not a eurosceptic. Also, Switzerland has a better reason, they are surrounded by people who use it and only have links with countries that do. We trade with Russia and Britain as well as Libya and Italy does that mean that we should Russian time because they are one of our biggest trading partners? Time zones are to be used to boost our economy, not so we are like sheep.

So are we.

and only have links with countries that do.

Not substantially more than us.

No, because that's not why people have time zones.

Time zones are to be used to boost our economy, not so we are like sheep.

No, they're used to keep morning in the morning and afternoon in the afternoon worldwide. Were they used only for economic purposes, Hong Kong, for example, would use a timezone which was upwards of 8 hours out.

Use the geographicly appropriate Time Zone anything else doesn't make any sense.

Why did Spain stop using UTC? To keep its ties with Germany.

We are not surrounded like Switzerland.

So, CET.

You know where we are, yes?

[Rumostan]

Yes, which means we have less to do with mainland Europe and we can trade with overseas nations, we don't need CET.

Time zones are not about trade, end of.

[Britanno]

Post Deleted due to me being a bit stupid

[Britcan]

I think we should just leave this with the admins.

The time zone we set our country to is up to the Senate.

OOC: Well I clearly got the wrong end of the stick here because I thought we were debating what time we should use for things like when bills end, not what Aurentina actually uses. My bad.

[Rumostan]

Yes, which means we have less to do with mainland Europe and we can trade with overseas nations, we don't need CET.

So why did Spain and France change from UTC to CET when they are in the same timezone as the UK? Why does Iceland use UTC? The answer is easier trade.
