Mr Speaker, the vote ended a day and a half ago, after [Osea's] vote

"Mr. Speaker, votes after the voting period but before the Speaker said that voting was over have never been disregarded."

[Lamaredia]

"Order, due to extraordinary circumstances*, I haven't been able to end the vote on time. Therefore, as to not punish others for my mistake, I'll count all the votes.

The bill has passed with 8 ayes to 4 nays, and will move on to the HoT."

OOC: *Being that I've been busy and incredibly worn out by work, by god have I been bodily and mentally fucked.

"Excuse me, Mr Speaker, there was also 1 Present."

[Lamaredia]

"Order, debate will now start on the Government Amendments Act and will last for 48 hours. To add to the vote count of the previous vote, a present was missed."

[Maklohi Vai]

"Order, debate will now start on the Government Amendments Act and will last for 48 hours. To add to the vote count of the previous vote, a present was missed."

"Mister Speaker, I rise in support of this bill. Galateans deserve a streamlined representative system, not one that bogs down important legislation because representatives can't be bothered to show up and vote."

[Merni]

"Order, debate will now start on the Government Amendments Act and will last for 48 hours. To add to the vote count of the previous vote, a present was missed."

"Mister Speaker, I oppose this bill strongly. This bill seeks, effectively, to abolish the House of Tribunes. To do such a far-reaching change in our government, I think it must have the consent of the people of Galatea, through a referendum."

"Mr. Speaker, I understand the Representative's concern, but a referendum is not necessary. The time for a fair and efficient government is now. Galatea has just concluded a lengthy and hard-fought referendum, and the people of Galatea don't want another referendum. They want change in their government."

[Lamaredia]

"Order, a vote will now start on the Government Amendments Act, and will last for 24 hours"

"Order, the vote on the Government Amendments Act has now ended with the following result:
7 Ayes
1 Nay

The vote has passed, and HoT has been removed. Now starts a period of oral questions."

[Maklohi Vai]

"Mister Speaker, I applaud this body's decision, and the great speed at which the House of Tribunes has in fact been removed from our bureaucracy 'after' the passage of this bill.

Now a question: does the government intend to support Galatea's entry into the Eurozone? Does the government intend to begin the EU accession process now, or, more advisably, make its last will and testament before doing so?"

"Mr. Speaker, I thank the Honorable Representative for his question. I find it peculiar that the Member has compared joining a prosperous international union to death, but yes, the Government does support the admission of Galatea into the Eurozone and we are already beginning the process of joining the European Union."

OOC: I kinda assumed the joining process would be assumed/automatic instead of us doing something.
