whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government ... It's time for a good old fashion referendum to get things moving. This is no way a reflection on goose, he has kept his end up admirably. Resolved: Someone needs to be here EVERY DAY for a couple minutes just to see if anything needs to be done. Until elected officials are in place that will exercise their elected duties in a timely manor ... I'll do it, I drop by at least once a day ... We can call it the temporary emergency "do what ever is needed" clerk ... or every ones deputy deputy ... or deputy dog? If you agree reply with a aye "I swear before almighty god this land will be justly governed ... even if I have to do it myself." ~Oliver Cromwell~

Why not just run for supreme court justice? They're really the only ones who're missing. But, what the heck. Aye.

Why not just run for supreme court justice? Because there is a big difference between needing to post debates and opinions, think through proposed changes etc. and just doing clerk work.

. . . or we could just dispense with the whole representative democracy idea, and use a simple direct participatory democracy . . . Aye!

Nay, nay, nay... What we need, is elected officials that live up to their end of the bargain. This constitution doesn't require much time of any position except for maybe the Presidency and at times the Court. The Senate has their moments of activity also, but it's not out of the realm of time already spent onsite.

That still counts as only one vote, right? Don't know if this qualifies as an official referendum, posted on the weekend, number of hours it's supposed to stay open not mentioned, nailed to the palace doors like we're out for someone's blood... Still voting aye. I've lost track whether the president can post the poll for presidential elections, or whether we really need a judge or a clerk to do it, I'm half of a mind to just post the damn thing myself. This senate is better than the previous one; this presidential race is more unpredictable than the previous ones; you don't attract more officials with stagnation, only pestilence... Gotta tend to my boy now.

Nay. The main problem is that the game is played on Warlords. I won't agree to this just so we can substitute that.
