The Senate Chamber: Make the Senate Great Again

[Collatis]

David Bloom pulls out his phone and visits https://www.liberal.org.au/join-party.

[House of Judah]

"I move to appeal the ruling of the Chair."

[Beta Test]

"I move to appeal the ruling of the Chair."

"Out of order, voting has begun. The first reading of the Second Amendment to the Standing Rules will proceed after this vote has concluded."

[FreYhill]

"I move to appeal the ruling of the Chair."

"Mr President,

The Red-Green Alliance needs to stop this partisanship and work with us so we can put Fernao back on track. We all know the Red-Green Alliance is do nothing, but these last comments from the opposition show that the Red-Green Alliance doesn't understand standing rules! Mr President, I believe that the Honorable Senator David Bloom from the Red-Green Alliance had no seconds from another Senator there his motion should be thrown in the bin. The Red-Green Alliance cannot count. The Red-Green Alliance doesn't understand rules. The Red-Green Alliance is a do nothing political force. The Red-Green unlike the Civic Union and its allies is unfit to lead Mr President and I condemn the Senator's partisan moves."

Amman sighs and takes out his phone to order some KFC using a delivery app.

[House of Judah]

"Point of Order, Mister President. Appealing the decisions of the Chair, when made, are always in order.

"Point of Order, Mister President. The member's language is unparliamentary and is not important information during a vote."

[Beta Test]

"Order. Debate will cease. Voting has begun."

[Collatis]

"Mister President, I move to proceed to the first reading of the proposed Criminal Code of Fernão."

Seconded Mr President

A janitor wonders why the former President of the Senate seconded a motion to proceed to a first reading when doing so is not remotely necessary. The janitor wonders if the former President of the Senate has even read the Standing Rules. The janitor shakes his head. The President of the Senate could go no lower.

"Mr President,

The Red-Green Alliance needs to stop this partisanship and work with us so we can put Fernao back on track. We all know the Red-Green Alliance is do nothing, but these last comments from the opposition show that the Red-Green Alliance doesn't understand standing rules!

The janitor has a heart attack and is raced to the hospital.

[FreYhill]

"EVERYTHING IS TRUE MR PRESIDENT. I shall stop however due to my respect for the chair."

AYE

"This is unparliamentary and I ask that the Honourable Senator withdraw."

"This is unparliamentary and I ask that the Honourable Senator withdraw."

"I challenge the ruling of the chair as I never impugned the reputation of a human being."

[Ainin]

"Point of order, the letter of the law states that attacks against human beings are unparliamentary. Political parties such as the Red-Green Alliance are, in fact, not legally nor literally natural persons by any stretch of the imagination."

[Collatis]

"Mister President, an attack against an organization is clearly an attack against its members as well. In fact, when Senator Durand called on France to "reject the evils of Islam", it was Mr. Carvallo who ruled that Durand's attack was unparliamentary language, despite the statement only referring to an organization, and not specifically to individual members of the Senate. He ruled that an attack on a group constitutes an attack on all of its people. The same holds true today."

[Beta Test]

"I challenge the ruling of the chair as I never impugned the reputation of a human being."

"From the Standing Rules on unparliamentary language: e. Any language that demeans the mental faculties of any Senator or other human being.

I believe that is what you have done and I ask the Honourable Senator to quickly withdraw in order to end the matter."

"Point of order, the letter of the law states that attacks against human beings are unparliamentary. Political parties such as the Red-Green Alliance are, in fact, not legally nor literally natural persons by any stretch of the imagination."

"One easily has the ability to infer that the Honourable Senator's comments were directed at the Red-Green Alliance members to his opposite. There is no point of order."

"No."

[Ainin]

"I rise on a point of personal privilege. The New England Patriots football team does not follow the rules. The Enron Corporation cannot count."

[FreYhill]

"Mr President, although I disagree with you strongly, I withdraw so I don't make a scene. After all, that's what the mature thing is."

Carvallo then stares at the pre-pubescent Red-Green Alliance Senators.

[Coconut Isle]

Senator Shah looks around: Petty bickering from the left and right, business as usual.

[Collatis]

[All Lukania]

Cristovao Matos rolled his wheelchair into the senate chamber, right as the liberals and socialists were wrapping up their bickering. He sighed at the state of politics in his nation, and moved towards his seat, examining the bill being voted on. Not tough enough, he thought. Not tough enough at all.
Nay

[Malgrave]

Aye

[Normandy and Picardy]

Aye

[Socialist Nordia]

Nisha Gadhavi refuses to cast a vote on a bill that was put to a vote against the established rules of the senate.
