The International Senate [OOC/Accepting Applications]

[The United Conservative Provinces]

No problem, but please keep all the rules in mind when posting in the IC.

[The United Conservative Provinces]

I have been reading through the IC posts and I am pleased with the quality of the posts, but remember there will be an official time to voice your vote. Right now is just the discussion and debating time.

[Agarntrop]

Why can't we have a system where the president has 1 vote but the president of the largest party or, if there are two joint largest parties, both presidents if the other agrees, issue minor 'executive orders' but all medium influence and major influence bills must have an international Senate majority.

I don’t quite understand what you mean be executive orders, but right now the poll is strongly leaning toward a president having 2 votes. Could you explain your thinking a little more?

[Agarntrop]

Basically the system in the us

[New Giliberafta]

Basically the system in the us

What would be “minor executive orders” in the IS?

[The United Conservative Provinces]

Basically the system in the us

Okay. Can you explain it so that everyone knows?

[Agarntrop]

'Minor executive orders' would be directive issued by the President or Preisdents of the International Senate that manages operations of the IS government and has the force of law.

[The United Conservative Provinces]

The poll has been ended and it is obvious that the senate wants party presidents to have only two votes, but they will have minor executive orders like Agarntrop has proposed. I will probably make a post soon in the IC to inform all of the senators. Thank you for all of the input.

I've noticed that both parties are on the conservative side of the spectrum. Would anyone be interested in founding a centrist, classical liberal party?

Telegram me if interested.

There are many senators in this international body that are centrist and liberal, and it would be nice to have a third more leftist party, but it might work better if you asked them instead of you trying to get them to ask you.

I will accept Hikn Ieaiehly into the International Senate now, but I would like it if you added another weakness. Also, maybe change the appearance of your senator so that it is not Michael Jackson, no real life people are allowed to be used in this RP.

The political party will be put into action once the party president makes a post in the IC telling about the party and it’s members. Jacob Haas, the speaker of the senate, will then have to acknowledge it.

It is preferred that you have one or two sentences in the other info section describing your party. There are examples of the other political parties on the home page if you need.

I have come to notice that the political parties are growing as fast as our senate. I'm glad to be part of a very active RP. One suggestion I have for our political parties is to state which nation the senator is from. I find it much easier to follow the names of our nations than our senators (often I look at my application or my old posts to remember mine). It could be a simple fix of adding the senator's country in parentheses after their name.

Example: Oliver Cohn (USS Brendislav)

If everyone agrees then I propose that the party presidents update their part posts with their fellow members nations.

I come to consensus with your proposal. I will update the Economic Coalition Party, and hopefully the Patriotic Union will do so as well.

Abbey Rosbacher, senator from Krogon has been discharged from the International Senate for failing to participate in the IC and lack of posts.

Executive orders are wrong and nothing should be able to pass without a majority in the Senate. I don't wish to see repeats of Revenge of the Sith guys... god
