"Point of parliamentary inquiry, Mister Speaker, what is the governing parliamentary authority?"

by **Greater Istanistan** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 9:26 pm

Senator Thinh takes his seat, looks around approvingly, shuffles his labour law reforms, and uses a piece of notepaper on his desk to create an intricate paper airplane which he gently pushes off in the direction of the former Parliament. It flies, a thing of beauty and grace.

"Time to make Elizia great again!"

"Point of parliamentary inquiry Mr. Speaker - what constitutional justification is there for the formation of the assembly?"

Senator Pong entered the new building, hoping it is secure after a plane crashed in the old one.

"Point of order, Mr. Speaker. The provided constitution has not been ratified, and I see no legal way for its established powers without it."

"Mister Speaker, I challenge Mister Maxwell to a duel."

by **MERIZoC** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 9:33 pm

Tectonix wrote:"Point of parliamentary inquiry Mr. Speaker - what constitutional justification is there for the formation of the assembly?"

"A Transitional Council with 30 members shall be formed by a decree from the Revolutionary Committee. It shall replace the dissolved Senate and it shall include the components that were not represented in the latter body. Members of the dissolved Senate shall have the right to join it."

There is no stipulation that the constitution must be ratified.

I hereby tender my resignation from the Elizian United Front and declare the foundation of the Communist Party of the Elizian Union. Furthermore, I denounce this illegal government and call for the installation of the Union of Elizian Soviets effective immediately, under the rightful Premier, me, and the General-Secretary of the Communist Party, SovCan.

"That is out of order"

Tjilik Beluluk enters, now inexplicably clothed and inexplicably from Kentang Prison, thinking about the transition from bourgeois democracy to the people's democratic dictatorship and new democracy. As Chair of the Transition Council, it was his supreme duty to eject the dirty and disgusting capitalists from the People's Republic, and to assist in the economic transformation, away from the evils of capitalism.

"Comrade! This People's Republic is motivated by nothing other than the highest revolutionary and communistic ideals! Your opinions about the transition away from capitalism and towards socialism are highly-needed, but that is the duty of this legislature and the Transitional Council!"

Meanwhile, a certain Jean-Luc Martin enters and begins stabbing Suleiman, muttering something about how Ubouhu/Adrius will always be Garifuna, not Dutch. He also yells at Tijah bin Dian, [Beta Test], Kevin Katdare and others, saying something about the Science Ministry, how he will not be silenced and something about the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. He also demands to know where David Vera Cruz is, muttering something about the State Socialist Council and again about the Science Ministry and how he will not be silenced.

I resign from the Elizian United Front and denounce this unlawful government formed by Communists.

Elizian loyalists who recognize the illegitimacy of this self-proclaimed 'republic' may find a new home in the rightful government of Elizia. Workers of the world, unite!

Kevin Katdare is visibly offended by such an offense. He stands and walks to the center of the chamber with a microphone. The senator beings to sing a song to the tune of "Alexander Hamilton" from the hit Broadway musical Hamilton.

How does a liberal, orphan, grandson of a commodore
And an Indian, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Indian by providence uncherished,
By his father, grow up to be a leader and a scholar?

The complete-baller founding father with his father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

And every day while Elizians were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, he prospered and kept his chin up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

Then the government came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man
Took up a collection just to send him to the motherland
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world is gonna know your name
What's your name, man?

Kevin Katdare
My name is Kevin Katdare
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait

When he was ten his father kicked the bucket, debt-ridden
Years earlier, see Kevin and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick

And Kevin got better but his mother went quick

They came for his brother, the brother met his demise
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying
Kevin, you gotta fend for yourself

He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' until he became chairman of the board
Tradin' palm oil and curry and everything he can afford
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin' for the future see him now as he sits in the cabin of a plane headed for his old land
In Kentang you can be a new man

In Kentang you can be a new man
In Kentang you can be a new man

In Kentang you can be a new man
In Kentang you can be a new man

Just you wait

Kevin Katdare

We are waiting in the wings for you

You could never back down
You never learned to take your time

Oh, Kevin Katdare

When Elizia sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh

The plane has landed now
See if you can spot him

Another expatriate comin' up from the bottom

His enemies destroyed his rep
Elizia forgot him

Ha Ram Be and National Coalition members: We fought with him

Katdare family: Me, I died for him

Liberal Coalition members: Me, I trusted him

Divya Katdare (Wife): Me, I loved him

Tjilik Beluluk: And me, I'm the damn fool that shot him

There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait

What's your name, man?

Kevin Katdare

At the request of the president herself, the following is posed to the legislature. "Resolved: the Legislature shall authorize the Revolutionary Guard to arrest and execute all members of the Union of Elizian Soviets."

Debate will last 12 hours.

"Mister Speaker an excellent initiative on behalf of the Madame President, I support it wholeheartedly.

That being said, do the dangers faced by our glorious state, I move that the question now be put."

by **Greater Istanistan** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 9:51 pm

Mr. Speaker, in times like these it's important to preserve national unity. With threats coming from every quarter, the people of this nation cannot afford to slacken their vigilance for a single instant lest our fragile democracy be destroyed by the short-sighted, the narrow-minded, and the reactionary. We have been provoked by these false heirs to the national democratic forces and their decades of work, discipline, and single-minded conviction. We cannot afford to flinch now. Defend the Revolutionary Constitution, Comrades, and end this charade! Long live the People's Republic!

That being said, Mr. Speaker, there are always questions that need putting. While we are in the midst of a great revolutionary chaos at the moment and have lots of specific issues, it is always good to have the general ability to put forth questions. As my honourable comrade colleague has said, it is important that the general question be generally put so that we may generally inquire and figure out what general specifics we need to generally examine by specifically putting the specific question that at present is, generally, being questioned in a general sense and put in a general way. I second his motion.

by **MERIZoC** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 10:04 pm

With 12 hours now having passed, we will put the question to a vote. All in favor say aye.
