As such I am holding a vote in which if four cabinet members approve (Del making the deciding vote should their be a tie) on whether to authorize a vote in the Regional Assembly to ban Cathyy from the North Pacific.

Never before have we had a member of our region so hateful and disrespectful of our region's values and institutions. Our Constitution allows us to protect ourselves from open sedition, we remain respectful of honest dissent but she has proven again and again to not only want to overthrow our democratically elected delegate but to openly subvert our way of life. Our Constitution allows protections against such behaviours, now I'm asking you play your part in protecting our region. This is a vile and nasty response but it is our only response to the irrational acts of aggression placed upon us.

And obviously I vote to approve such action, to allow the Regional Assembly vote as to whether to allow Cathyy to continue to destroy our way of life.

I vote in favor.

Voting for the absent MoD, as Deputy MoD

Aye - In favor of this measure!

R

..... WHAT?

There is NO vacancy in the office of PM, unless I missed Hers' resignation somewhere.

The Constitution allows us to make decisions in his place if he is gone. He is gone. The framers in no way would have allowed two weeks of chaos just because Hers went on vacation!

You're over interpretating IMO.

I have been ordered by Byardkuria, in his capacity as chief justice, to close this thread.
