NS Parliament Chamber [IC]

[The Miaphysite Church of Coptic Archism]

Marius nodded to himself. The MP knew what she was doing, and she had the nonpartisan background to suit. Most importantly, she had been bold enough to come forward.

"I am very happy to second and offer my full support to the nomination of Helena De Willoughby Shah, to the office of Speaker."

[Crylante]

Sköldsvik stood up, holding the crust of a pizza in his hand.

“I second the nomination of de Willoughby Shah for Speaker. I feel that she would be a great nonpartisan candidate and preside over the role with balance and fairness.”

[Rebels and Saints]

Lance spoke up. "I nominate Heinz Buckliger!"

[Thermodolia]

Karl Bergen had just walked into the chamber during the nominations for speaker.

“Good we need a speaker, I Second the nomination of de Willoughby Shah for Speaker”

[Van Hool Islands]

Viktoria Ljungstrand walks back in.

"I second the nomination of de Willoughby Shah for Speaker."

[Duestchstien]

Hugo watches as the various agreements in nomination go by. He thinks through the situation thoroughly in his head. She was a more left leaning MP, but then again, so was he, at the left end of his party. Her progressive views were, although more extreme then his, similar. Aside from that her status as an independent meant she would not be tied up in the politics of the parties and would be able to make clearer decisions. Finally coming to a consensus he looked up. "I support the nomination of Willoughby Shah for Speaker. Her status as an independent presents this Parliament an opportunity we may never see again, and her status as our first Speaker will not be favoring any party."

The Speaker must remain neutral," Lance said, "Regardless of who it is. All you are doing is removing her ability to vote, which will only hurt you. Nominate your opponent, not your ally."

[Dormill and Stiura]

"I believe that our Speaker should be somebody who embodies the best in all of us," De Cloet began, "And given the atmosphere so far, I believe that is in de Willoughby Shah. I therefore second the nomination of de Willoughby Shah for Speaker of our Parliament."

[MERIZoC]

Christiano walks over to the Speaker's chair and sits in it, as without any set of rules and procedures, there is no official method to select a Speaker.

[Vedastia]

Von Leslie, who reentered the Chamber after Norberg, stands up.

"I second Helena De Willoughby Shah's nomination as Speaker."

[Rebels and Saints]

Christiano walks over to the Speaker's chair and sits in it, as without any set of rules and procedures, there is no official method to select a Speaker.

OOC: We have a set of rules and procedures, though.

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Henry yells: "I second the appointment of Heinz Bucklinger! Also, why are we all yelling?!"

[Rebels and Saints]

Henry yells: "I second the appointment of Heinz Bucklinger! Also, why are we all yelling?!"

Lance turned toward Henry. He nodded, gave a thumbs up, and flashed a quick smile before turning back around to watch the proceedings.

[Roosevetania]

Christiano walks over to the Speaker's chair and sits in it, as without any set of rules and procedures, there is no official method to select a Speaker.

OOC: We have a set of rules and procedures, though.

OOC: No, we don't. This is being done based on the consensus of Members in the Chamber.

[Lamaredia]

Representative Jonas Trägårdh Apelstierna enter the chamber at the usual time.

"I, too, second Helena De Willoughby Shah's nomination for the position of speaker."

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Henry yells: "I second the appointment of Heinz Bucklinger! Also, why are we all yelling?!"

Lance turned toward Henry. He nodded, gave a thumbs up, and flashed a quick smile before turning back around to watch the proceedings.

"Hey, Lance, I need to speak to you about Bill 88.."

“She’s an Independent, she doesn’t have any political party and thus doesn’t hurt anyone. Besides I’d rather die before a bloody fascist became our speaker”

[Rebels and Saints]

Lance turned toward Henry. He nodded, gave a thumbs up, and flashed a quick smile before turning back around to watch the proceedings.

"Hey, Lance, I need to speak to you about Bill 88.."

"Yes?"

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

"Hey, Lance, I need to speak to you about Bill 88.."

"Yes?"

“See - The last section actually forces me to give up all my assets to the government. I’d advice you to vote against it. Even if it needs some...convincing, if you know what I mean...”

[Rebels and Saints]

"Yes?"

“See - The last section actually forces me to give up all my assets to the government. I’d advice you to vote against it. Even if it needs some...convincing, if you know what I mean...”

Lance laughed. "I may not own Vision Industries anymore, but I sure as hell am still rich. I'll follow the Party, I guess. We'll remake the more preferable parts later." Lance noticed his cigar was out. "Damn," he whispered.

He grabbed another one, preparing to light it. He glanced up at Henry. "Want one?"

“Mmmm...thanks.” He grabbed the cigar and began to calm down a bit...
