NS Parliament Chamber [IC]

[Rebels and Saints]

"My esteemed colleagues, I present the following list of persons I wish to nominate to their attached positions in my cabinet:

Deputy Prime Minister - Sara Nygaard (FPP)
Minister of Foreign Affairs - Robin Johnsson (NPP)
Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs - Jonathon Vasquez (FPP)
Minister of Defense - Alexander Norberg (NPP)
Minister of Justice - Salomon Berggren (SHAPC)
Minister of Home Affairs - Oscar Holm (CPC)
Minister of Education and Public Services - Marius Forsman (C-P)"

"Ah. Finally."

[Van Hool Islands]

"Madame Speaker, I implore the honourable member to actually look up what freedom of speech is. I in no way am restricting the member's speech by telling the member he should stop talking about furniture in a legislature. The immaturity being displayed currently is laughable and not fitting of this country's government."

"Yes! Yes! Laugh, for goodness sake!" Lance stood up, addressing the legislators as if they were an audience to a speech. "You're all so glum all the time! By God, some laughter would do you good! How can you expect to lead a nation when you look ready to put half the legislators in jail? A little brightness and positivity will not harm you. In fact, I would venture to say that it would help you."

Lance sat down, and reached to take a sip of his drink before realizing that it was empty. He laid back and pulled out his phone. He flipped to Amazon, found a red cabinet, and ordered it, placing the Chamber address for its delivery. The opposition wanted a cabinet? They would have a cabinet. He chuckled to himself. He wanted to see their faces when they realized he had ordered a legitimate cabinet for the Chamber.

"Madame Speaker, once again, point of order. The member is very obviously tired and emotional."

[Rebels and Saints]

"Madame Speaker, once again, point of order. The member is very obviously tired and emotional."

"Now see, I do not have a problem with emotion. Emotion drives human action. To cut emotion out of the legislative process is folly. As for my exhaustion, that is simply the price of being in the government."

Michael looks over to see what Lance is doing on his phone and see him ordering a cabinet. He laughing silently at what Lance did and whispers in Lance' ear, "I can't wait to see their reactions. This going to be hilarious."

Tired of the bickering in the premier legislative chamber of the nation, Marius applauds the announced cabinet. Himself holding a position of minister outside cabinet would perhaps serve as a mediating force in the new government.

[Rebels and Saints]

"Indeed. Keep it quiet, and try not to argue with Viktoria any more. I don't think she understands the concept of humor, and she'll have the Speaker tearing us apart. And to think that yesterday I congratulated her on trying her best for Prime Minister."

[Martune]

"Madame Speaker, I'd like to thank the Right Honourable Prime Minister for inviting me to serve in his cabinet. It's an honor to serve our country and represent it abroad. I'd also like to point out that my friend, the Honourable Minister for Education and Public Services, will serve as a minister outside the cabinet."

"Don't worry my lips are zipped just tell when it comes in. Your right about Viktoria, she is one of the most humorless women I have ever met." Michael whispers to Lance.

Sven Sköldsvik looked at the proposed cabinet. It was, as to be expected, filled with Tories, ranging from the out-of-touch-yet-still-somewhat-sane noble that was Prime Minister, to the more nutty libertarian members. But he was at least glad some saner members of government had been appointed, like Marius Forsman. Although he had gone back on his word to support the proposed SLP-SDP-GR-R-PLP coalition, the man was smart and somewhat reasonable.

“I thank the honourable member for appointing this cabinet so that members like myself may begin the process of holding it to account.” Sköldsvik announced.

And eventually bring your government down... he thought.

“I thank the honorable member for bringing the cabinet to my attention. Will you appoint Deputy Ministers for more important jobs such as defense, justice, and economic affairs, or are they not needed?”

[Roosevetania]

"Madam Speaker, I'd like to thank the Right Honorable Prime Minister for appointing me to the Cabinet. I am honored to be able to serve in Saint Hilda's first Government and look forward to serving the people. I pray that the Honorable Members in the Opposition will enter into this term with us with good faith and common goals."

AFK walks into the chamber after a few days of not being there. She sees people arguing about furniture.

"You guys know we were adjourned, right? You didn't have to stay here. Oh my God, did you guys sleep in here? I'll get the janitors in here soon. Anyway..."

She takes her seat at the Speaker's rostrum as more MPs shuffle in.

"The house is called to order. A message from the Governor General."

STEVE STEVENSON, GOVERNOR GENERAL
ANNI-FRID KRSTENSEN, SPEAKER

[Vienna Eliot]

"The Parliament is in session. The chair will now entertain questions to ministers. Questions to the Government!"

[Crylante]

“Mrs Speaker, I would like to ask the esteemed members of this government what their policy is towards protecting the LGBT community of St Hilda, who disproportionately face discrimination and hate crimes.”

[East Meranopirus]

"I would like to ask the government why there is no minister for the environment and whether the government has any plans on the subject of environment."

[The Archipelago Territory]

“Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the Right-Honorable Prime Minister whether or not he would like to consider adding deputy ministers, or would not.”

[East Meranopirus]

“Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the Right-Honorable Prime Minister whether or not he would like to consider adding deputy ministers, or would not.”

"I believe this time is for the opposition to ask questions to the government, not for government members to sort out their own business."

[The Miaphysite Church of Coptic Archism]

“Mrs Speaker, I would like to ask the esteemed members of this government what their policy is towards protecting the LGBT community of St Hilda, who disproportionately face discrimination and hate crimes.”

"While Center-Progressive sits outside the governing coalition, I feel a responsibility to answer for our section of the functioning majority in Parliament. C-P supports the equality of all peoples irrespective of race, gender, sexuality, religious practice, or other factor. C-P would, in theory, support the passage of an equal rights act in Saint Hilda to enforce that."

"I would like to ask the government why there is no minister for the environment and whether the government has any plans on the subject of environment."

"I believe the Minister for Home Affairs will be responsible for those matters, if that is helpful."

[East Meranopirus]

"I believe the Minister for Home Affairs will be responsible for those matters, if that is helpful."

"Home Affairs is quite a broad portfolio, usually associated with citizenship, security and immigration. This is a terrible fit for environmental issues. Is the government planning to take any action on environmental issues at all?"

[The Archipelago Territory]

“Mr. Prime Minister, perhaps a new minister shall be appointed to handle the environmental, energy, and technological issues and other similar matters that might arise.”

[Amuaplye]

"And will the Right Honorable Prime Minister nominate a cabinet position for the Environment and Energy? Or perhaps Health, Housing, Culture, National Security, and Intelligence as well? Although, the last one is probably under The Right Honorable Mr. Norberg's position. And where shall the offices for these ministries be? Well, I have an idea for that, albeit a rather costly one."

[Roosevetania]

“Mrs Speaker, I would like to ask the esteemed members of this government what their policy is towards protecting the LGBT community of St Hilda, who disproportionately face discrimination and hate crimes.”

"Madam Speaker, the Government vows to protect all citizens from violence and hate. However, we recognize the strong social traditions of Saint Hilda and will preserve those as well."

"I believe the Minister for Home Affairs will be responsible for those matters, if that is helpful."

"Home Affairs is quite a broad portfolio, usually associated with citizenship, security and immigration. This is a terrible fit for environmental issues. Is the government planning to take any action on environmental issues at all?"

"Absolutely, Madam Speaker. Protecting our nation's natural beauty is a top priority, especially with our coalition partners in Center-Progressive. The Government will consider expanding the role of environmental government in the Cabinet."

[Agarntrop]

"Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the members of the government to elaborate on their statement 'However, we recognize the strong social traditions of Saint Hilda and will preserve those as well.'"

[Crylante]

"Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the members of the government to elaborate on their statement 'However, we recognize the strong social traditions of Saint Hilda and will preserve those as well.'"

"To add to this, Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the government if they think that social tradition should take precedent over civil rights."

[Northern Davincia]

"Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the members of the government to elaborate on their statement 'However, we recognize the strong social traditions of Saint Hilda and will preserve those as well.'"

"To add to this, Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the government if they think that social tradition should take precedent over civil rights."

"That would depend on both the tradition and what is considered to be a civil right."
