[NSG Senate] Senate Chamber: Do We Have Work?

[The New World Oceania]

"Point of order, Mr. Speaker, the Constitution requires the Confidence Resolution take precedence over all other business."

[Arachaea]

"Nay."

[Normandy and Picardy]

Aye

[Arkolon]

Nay

[The Nihilistic view]

"Nay to the current motion under consideration.

I also believe the makers of motions interrupting a vote in future should be removed from the chamber until such time as they can stop being disruptive. Once a vote has started nothing should interrupt it and standing orders should reflect this."

[Britanno 3]

Nay

[Eol Sha]

Aye

[MERIZoC]

Nay

[Skyviolia]

[Tectonix]

Nay.

[Red Party]

Abstain.

[Tumbra]

"All votes below those of the Hon. Ujang Duong are not counted due to the vote ending at 12.35 am."

"With 4 votes for, 10 against and 1 abstention, this motion fails and debating resumes."

[Takhshiyt]

Senator Sandeep looks up at the clock. "I should be more aware next time," he mumbled to himself.

[Argentarino]

"All votes below those of the Hon. Ujang Duong are not counted due to the vote ending at 12.35 am."

"With 4 votes for, 10 against and 1 abstention, this motion fails and debating resumes."

"Mr. Speaker, point of order, the Constitution requires that the Confidence Resolution take precedence over all other business, per Part II, Article VIII of the Elizian Constitution."

[Coconut Isle]

"Point of order, constitutional amendments take precedence over the confidence motion, as the Deputy Speakwr has informed me"

[Lykens]

"Mister Speaker, allow me to rise in the staunchest opposition to this bill.

It is shortsighted and will cause more harm than what it views as harmful. Yes, there were unintended consequences passed in the recent constitutional amendment, but several extremely important parts such as the election of the speaker, powers of the speaker, and disciplinary procedures that are extremely important to regulate the observance of decorum within the august body. I will support an amended version, but as presented this bill will cause much more confusion and chaos than its supporters think.

This will simply gut the previous amendment, and not restore the constitution to how it stood before, and will prevent us from voting at all. If this bill is no amended to fix such issues, I implore my honorable colleagues on both sides of this house to vote down this bill."

"Mr Speaker, how does a bill whose one and only provision is to return the Constitution to how it was before not return the Constitution to how it was before?

Mr Speaker, this bill is designed to fix the Chamber to its previous state and only that. That way we have a Chamber that flows and is convenient and usable for everyone - if the Hon Gentleman wants to write a new Constitutional Amendment, I'd recommend that he do so in the comfort of a Chamber that works, like he did last time, and not in the environment he finds himself in today."

"Mr. Speaker, point of order, the Constitution requires that the Confidence Resolution take precedence over all other business, per Part II, Article VIII of the Elizian Constitution."

"Point of Information, Mr Speaker. Confidence motions may only be tabled if there is no other business pending - 'A resolution of no confidence... may be tabled for twenty four hours of debate ... provided no other business is pending.'

As there are plenty of bills in the depository, I think it is clear that this motion may not be tabled."

[Belmaria]

OOC: So as long as there are bills in the queue, the government can't be challenged by a confidence motion? How democratic.

''Point of Information, Mr. Speaker. The Constitution's (Chi said whilst holding a pocket version) mention of "Business Pending" refers to business within the chamber, with the ParliPro Amendment making that Confidence votes can be tabled by anyone, when there is NO DEBATE OR VOTING OCCURRING.''

[Ainin]

"I rise on a question of personal privilege, Mr. Speaker. I would like to go to the bathroom."

"We are currently debating a constitutional amendment, if the Senator would stop proposing no-confidence every five seconds, the honourable senator might have realised that."

Point of Information, Mr. Speaker. I did not propose a no-confidence motion, the leader of the Elizian Communist Party did. Furthermore, Mr. Speaker - I withdrew my seconding in the chamber as I heard that a Confidence motion is going to be occurring later this week.
