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

[Corenea]

Speaking of benefits, are Senators allowed to do drugs at work?

Wow...

I was talking to the original person.

[Britanno]

So it is a state-run coffee shop.

This is outrageous! What's next, nationalisation of the dinner ladies?!

[Corenea]

Say can Senators smoke weed at work?

[Britanno]

No law against it.

[Dendart]

Should a millionair be denied benefits,for that reason

What's a millionair?

Mmm. I was wondering that myself

[Britanno]

I was talking to the original person.

Then don't quote me.

[The Nihilistic view]

I agree with GN, the original bill was really only a temporary measure because we weren't actually getting paid, and we needed a quick initiate to stop senators creaking towards corruption.

We should also add a clause stating that the senate can block a pay rise, but not a decrease in pay. This will stop the outrageous situation that has recently occurred in the UK.

Well it's not actually needed, unlike the UK we don't have a pay commission that decides our pay. We decide it ourselves using bills. Any bill on senators pay needs to be passed, so we have the right to block both increases and decreases. It also means that a clause that blocks us from blocking a decrease in pay efectivly means that any bill that reduces our pay we have to vote for. An extreme example might be that five senators introduce a bill cutting our pay to £1 a year. Under the clause you suggest we would have to vote for the bill thus leaving us with £1 a year salary opening us up to corruption and leading senators to have to be wealthy to enter politics to survive.

If we had a a commission, a change to our salary wouldn't be in a bill, so we wouldn't vote on it. If the commission wanted to increase our salaries, and we thought that was wrong, we could block it.

But we don't have a commission. So you did not answer the problem.

That's right, we don't Nihil. We are proposing we get one.

The proposed amendment does not include a commission. It's an automatic escalator in line with inflation.

The Senate of the Aurentine Commonwealth,

Noting that the Freedom Whig Movement was a major actor in the violence of the 23rd of November ("Bloody Saturday"),

Regretting the senseless loss of life caused by the reckless actions of the Freedom Whigs and Aurentine Secret Patriotic Movement,

Noting that the Aurentine Secret Patriotic Movement has been outlawed due to its actions on that day,

Realising that the Freedom Whigs were equally complicit in the deadly riots,

Decrying the lack of action against this clearly terrorist group as a result of scapegoating blame on the ASPM,

Hereby declares the Freedom Whigs, whether this be their formal or informal name, a terrorist and illegal organisation.

What a useless waste of government time.

All they'll do is reform under another name and brand. You'd be better off declaring the ideology illegal, which is authoritarian as fvck and not something I support.
