Precisely!!
Term limits were implemented to give others a chance to hold office, but that has not happened and has resulted in more of a game of musical chairs than anything else!!
Nations with the ability and track record of getting the job done should be able to hold office as long as the...
Check out the Regional Assembly, Sir!! There be ideas there and in writing and all too!!
Giving the Delegate a paddle pool to piss in is hardly going to fix the problem of someone who is required to maintain the effort of endo-tarting for their term, not counting the lead up to the election for...
I think you have been more than adept at ignoring the root of the problem!! The root of the problem will not just go away!!
Without change, the cycle will repeat!!
How does repeating the bureaucratic process break the shackles of bureacracy?! In order for anything to change changes are needed to the Constitution moreso than the nations in office and they are hogtied by the Constitution itself!!
In-game, the Delegate is the leader of the region!! In the Constitution they have no leadership role in the region and no power!! I'd go as far as to say the SC and NPIA have more influence on regional affairs than the those elected to govern, including the Delegate!!
The sooner a concession is...
Wait on, I was told that this Constitution would PREVENT rogue delegates from occurring!!
There were some voices from the back of the room that said this was utter shit, but that was ignored!! Oh wait, those people were banned from even contributing to the Constitutional Convention ensuring the...
What is our vision for this region?
A region where ideas are discussed civilly and where nations are not intimidated in an attempt to browbeat them to fall into line with the ruling clique!! Where new nations with energy and new ideas progress and obtain roles int he region while those that are...
I agree with you about the flexibility of the candidates for cabinet positions!! You are right, under my system nations would vote for the best team rather than the best candidate for each cabinet position!! As I said, I have no problem with your proposal but have an aversion to too many...
You aren't interested in saving the region, only yourself and your precious Constitution!! Don't pretend you are putting the region first!! The dull and dreary environment the Constitution and those who wield it has created is what is causing the problems!!
Saving the region requires...
Yes, yes clique!! Always get that word wrong!! But still, my comment stands no matter how you try and deflect from it!!
You choose to ignore the illness and attack those that point it out!! Instead of trying to be a smart-arse and ignoring valid concerns you'd probably be best to actually do...
Hmmm, I see your point, but either system can fall victim to the same problem with regards to changes within the cabinet due to inactivity!! With the system I proposed, reshuffles within the cabinet would not be an issue as the cabinet ran as a team!! With the system you proposed, any change of...
You guys didn't really think the collective would let you speak out against them without retaliation, did you?!
This is the way of TNP!! Don't fix anything, don't change anything, just turf out those that dare challenge the all encompassing morass that is the Constitution and those few that...
:rofl:
He is so cute when he is angry!!
For the record, I neither support nor condemn Dalimbar until I know whathis plans are!! That and what high-paying job that requires no effort on my part he is willing to offer me in his government!!
Oh, its good to see your stones have finally dropped...
The Executive section goes close to the system I proposed a while back with a Delegate running as a team with his selected cabinet!! The problem with the system you propose, as I see it, is that we could have endless votes if the Delegate's appointment for position(s) within the Cabinet do not...
We need one of those shampoos that don't require the repeat step!! Problem solved!!
That was easy, anyone for tennis?!
Oh wait, its the Delegate thats the problem, not shampoo!! Carry on!! Not that you need my invitation!!
Sounds like something I said 2 years ago!! :o
I too would like to hear what Dalimbar has to say before the thought-police shuffle him of to the gulags!!
Some Delegates were deemed heroes for banning nations from the region without trial or Constitutional grounds!! How times change!! Or rather, how interpretations change!! ;)
