[DRAFT #1] Examination Resits Required

[Tinhampton]

IRL (emphasis added for emphasis): "For France's intellectual crème de la crème a place at the elite Ecole Nationale d'Administration (ENA) is coveted above all others... [but d]etermined to quell the gilets jaunes ("yellow vest") protest movement, President Emmanuel Macron has proposed abolishing the ENA, according to the text of an upcoming speech leaked to French media. "If we want to build a society of equal opportunity and national excellence, we must reset the rules for recruitment, careers and access to the upper echelons of the civil service," he is quoted as saying. "That's why we will change the system of training, selection and career development by getting rid of the ENA and several other institutions." The president's office has declined to comment on the leaked text. French media say it was to be in his address to the nation marking the conclusion of a two-month great debate. But the speech was postponed because of the Notre-Dame fire." (If anybody has any publically-available evidence to suggest that Macron ever went ahead with the speech, please telegram me or DM Tinhampton#7402 on Discord.)

[title]Examination Resits Required
[desc]Parliament recently scheduled a debate and vote on a bill to abolish fee-paying private schools, but it was indefinitely frozen after a fatal bombing nearby forced it to abandon business for the foreseeable future. The @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ Youth Parliament (@@DEMONYMINITIALS@@YP) passed an almost-identical bill the following day, therefore requiring the main legislature to consider the issue when it next convenes - and sparking debate about what influence the @@DEMONYMINITIALS@@YP should enjoy over the lawmaking process.

[option]"I can't believe they're trying to take away our power like this," complains @@RANDOMNAME_1@@, author of the ill-fated Parliament bill. "Can you imagine the backlog if the Youth Parliament were to ram through every single defeated bill over again? @@LEADER@@, I suggest you try and get an agreement with the Speaker to reconvene the Parliament immediately, and prevent any Youth Parliament bills from being considered until all of the bills from normal leglslators like me can have a fair say. It's not like their bill passed by three votes or anything... which it did, by the way."
[effect]@@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ politicians are united only in sleep deprivation

[option]"Somebody appears to have forgotten that we represent a co-equal branch of the legislature," points out @@RANDOMNAME_2@@, author of the @@DEMONYMINITIALS@@YP bill. "Unfortunately, most people assume we don't: over 99% of all the bills ever passed by the Youth Parliament have died in Parliament itself! Paying us the same as regular legislators would certainly help our reputation, as would requiring that all Parliamentary bills receive the @@DEMONYMINITIALS@@YP's support before they can be passed. In the meanwhile, I'm sure I can strike an agreement with the Speaker to reconvene the big Parliament immediately better than you can..."
[effect]voting has become the most lucrative chore in @@NAME@@

[option]"Have you even READ THE KIDDIES' DEMANDS?" yells @@RANDOMNAME_3@@, your Minister for Easy Legislating. "They want to abolish all private schools immediately, but @@RANDOMLASTNAME_1@@'s proposal only wanted to close the ones that wouldn't keep their fees below 300% of median income within five years! I certainly don't trust the youngsters to trick our upstanding and stubb—principled lawmakers into agreeing with their demands; it should be clear by now that abolishing this silly "youth parliament" and requiring children to listen to their superiors would go a long way in simplifying the rulemaking process."
