The Regional Assembly experienced decent activity this month, with 2 bills going to vote, and another one currently under discussion. The RA has also undergone a leadership change this month, with a new Speaker being elected.
The first bill proposed was to approve the amendment to the CAIN treaty. However, the bill was opposed by most of the Citizenry with discussion centered on CAIN itself, and if it should be supported rather than the actual vote. There were multiple reasons for this, mainly that The North Pacific does not require CAIN to effectively fight the Nazis and the argument in favor of the amendment, that The North Pacific should take a leadership role in CAIN, proved unconvincing and the vote failed to pass in a 14-27-13 vote (Aye-Nay-Abstain.)
Another bill, which also went to vote, was the Security Council Reform Bill. The primary changes this bill proposed is that it requires the Vice Delegate to maintain the number of endorsements the Delegate has, minus 1/5th of all World Assembly members in the region, as well as allowing Security Council members to be exempt from influence requirements if approved by a 2/3 vote. The bill easily passed, with an 18-2-16 vote in favor.
A bill, which is close to vote, but not yet at vote at the time of this writing, is the Election Reform Bill. Major changes in this bill include Election Commissioners' requiring approval by a majority vote in the Regional Assembly, and allowing any citizen to petition against an action against the rules of the Election Commissioners' or the law. The bill, after being edited for nearly three months, seems to have support from the Citizenry.
Due to the recent General Elections, Bootsie has been elected as the new Speaker. Bootsie has had experience in the Speaker's office before, having been a Deputy Speaker multiple times, and has served as Speaker in the past. As for Deputy Speakers, Owenstacy has been reappointed as Deputy Speaker, having ran against Bootsie in the most recent election. A newcomer to The North Pacific in general, The Hundred Worlds has also been appointed as a Deputy Speaker.
Overall, this month has been an active one from the Regional Assembly with multiple reforms proposed and supported, as well as major decisions being made by the Citizens.
The problems I see are really clunky sentences, particularly on lists, and really bad closure at the end. Advice on that is definitely appreciated. Also won't mind more things to add to this, as this article seems somewhat short for an article on the whole legislative body.
Edits made:
1. Added section on Speaker election and Deputy Speakers appointed.
2. Added Nasania's suggested structuring edits.
