NSG Senate Chamber: I came, I saw, I cleaned up after myself

[The Nihilistic view]

Mmm, you apear to be correct. Should the votes after the correct end time count?

"I am going to leave that up to the speaker, as author of the bill and only vote after the end time being against the bill, I dont think I am entirely impartial".

"ORDER

Votes after the end of the prescribed vote time do not count. I appreciate your concern for impartiality Mr Shadak but please don't be afraid to speak your mind on such matters in future.

The result shall be announced in a few minutes. "

[The Nihilistic view]

It honestly doesn't matter that much. As shown above, that one vote wouldn't change anything.

One can say a vote does or does not count, but to say that a vote "doesn't matter" is out of order.

"ORDER

I will decided what is out of order. voicing ones opinion within the rules of established standing orders is not out of order."

[The Nihilistic view]

"ORDER ORDER

On the Education Framework Act those in favour 26, those against 15. The bill is passed."

[The Nihilistic view]

"Order

The next item on the agenda is the Act to Apply to Join International and Regional Organizations."

"I am in in favour of this bill but I also wish to make public my belief that Calaverde should join the Commonwealth of Nations, la Francophonie and the Organisation of Ibero-American States. I, Senator Sebastian van Oldenbarnevelt, vote aye.

[Argentarino]

Cristobal Araullo stood up. "Good day, fellow colleagues. I want it to be known that this bill will just scratch the surface in regards to my hope for a Calaverde that is involved in the international community. Of course, we must join the United Nations if we wish to be more involved; I also took the liberty of suggesting certain regional and humanitarian organizations we should be a part of. Are there any thoughts on this?"

[Valluto]

I would like to endorse this bill. It is important for Calaverde to be open to the world and vice versa. Economic and political cooperation in Latin America and around the world is vital to the continued stability and progress of our great nation.

Senator Araullo, has there been any mention of joining CAFTA or other American trade agreement? Regardless I will support any measure to further involve Calaverde in the international community willbe met with support from myself as well as possibly members of my party.

[Beta Test]

The Prime Minister rose in his chair.

"This bill is incredibly important to our nation. It is another step towards joining the community of democratic nations, something I'm sure we are all dedicated towards doing. All of these organisations, the UN, the WHO, the Red Cross, Interpol, etc. are all near-universally respected organisations and it was an obvious decision for our government to apply to join them.

I hope that the honorable members will consider voting through this vital act."

"ORDER

It's good to be keen, however I should inform the member that his vote will not count at this point due to his jumping of the gun by quite a considerable margin."

"Mr Prime Minister, do you think it would be prudent to draft another bill in which the government approves the sending of applications to the Commonwealth of Nations, la Francophonie and the Organisation of Ibero-American States so as to not jeopardise this bill's chances of passing through the national legislature?"

[The Nihilistic view]

"My spies tell me there is already a bill for that in the pipeline somewhere." said Boris.

"I can inform the chamber that the Minister of Culture is drafting a bill to join La Francophonie and the Dutch Language Union as we speak. It is also a priority of this government to join the other two organisations that you listed. I will ask the Foreign Minister to draft a second bill introducing those measures."

[Valluto]

Mr. Speaker, are we allowed to introduce amendments at this time?

"Very well."

"Yes you may."

[Valluto]

Thank you Mr. Speaker

Members, I don't see why we can't introduce an amendment to join those language organizations and get this done today. I would be willing to support or even propose such an amendment, so long as we have the blessing of the Minister of Culture and the Government.

[Maklohi Vai]

He has written a separate bill to cover those organizations.

"Very well."

The Ministry of Culture is drafting one right now, if you care to sponsor it.

[Beta Test]

"Yes, I was mistaken in forgetting that the Minister's bill also included the Commonwealth of Nations and the Organisation of Ibero-American States."

[Collatis]

Senator Araullo, has there been any mention of joining CAFTA or other American trade agreements?

I am no expert, but I am fairly sure that there is a fair bit of controversy about CAFTA on the left. Any attempt to add it to the bill might decrease its chances of passing. Regardless, I think that joining agreements and organizations that mainly deal with trade ought to have their own bill.

I would agree with you Senator.

[Atlanticatia]

"I completely support this bill. It is vital that we play a role on the world stage, and form an independent identity that takes into account our multicultural society and history."

[Rohane Alista]

"There is no solid reason to reject the bill as it is. Becoming a member of the international community as swiftly as possible is an absolute must for our nation. However, it seems most of my fellow Senators are already in support, so I shall cut my speech short for the time being."

[Patria Magna]

I support this bill. However, it is imperative that we do not join any organizations such as La Francophonie or whatnot in the future.
