So here we go again.

This time around, after criticism about the quiet cabinet, I'm going to try being a little whiny. As soon as I settle into the summer a bit I hope to begin working on a few amendments that I think will help with regional operation.

Increasing term lengths to 90 days, instead of 75. Considering our election activity and competition levels (though this one was an improvement mainly due to some overparticipation by one individual), I think a slightly longer term will improve the stability of the cabinet and improve our voter participation a little while making cabinet positions that much more desirable.

File the required paperwork so we can have a presidential puppet to speed up any future changes of power. Dealing with almost a month of endorsement trading is undesirable.

Finally, additional forum management rights for MoDA. SG will remain in charge of managing groups and their authorizations. It was my position during the last cabinet that our current forum set up is needlessly complex with nested subforums out the wazzoo, leaving many with very few posts and making the entire thing difficult to navigate and monitor. I think that changing this falls more readily into the purview of MoDA and this is one of the topics I will be especially TG spammy about.

Otherwise, new business? Old business? Bring it on.

Apologies for the late arrival, i was busy getting elected.

Defwa, i like the idea of a voting bloc, however i share Terlibes reservations regarding the less leftist regions, and overcoming this with DSA dominance would encourage calls of corruption, tarnishing our reputation.

On a side note, what would opinion be on setting up a regional trading platform? I was thinking if the map was split into zones which each have an area designated as a trading zone, which all collate to a central trading zone

I've invited Klotecnia to becoming my adviser to the security council. They have enthusiasm and I'm hopeful it can be effectively applied. If I recall, he's already dropped out of his ambassadorial position, unless he picked it back up after the election.
Is this wise? Klotecnia was previously ejected from USSR for being "a right wing troll", and has since been accused of ballot rigging in the same region. I dont want to appear unwilling to give second chances, but maybe Klotecnia should prove themselves before taking on senior roles?

As far as I'm aware, precedent has been that abstentions are not counted in determining a majority. Thus, Borq wins the MoJ election.

Regarding the population statistics, is this not it? If it is, any future MIRP can just make a copy of the document and continue working on it.
Yes, but thats just an incoveniencethat I really don't want handled. Doing so isn't solving the problem, it's just passing it doe. For another person to deal with.
Apologies for the triple post, im assuming that as i am the future MoRP mentioned above, this is something i should be worrying about?

I just want to say that I love the tongue-in-cheek style of the dispatch.

(And yes, I think copying and slightly editing the dispatch is a perfectly reasonable course of action.)
I agree.

MIRP = Minister of Immigration and DSA Promotion (it used to be 'and Regional Promotion', hence the acronym)
MoRP = Minister of Role Play

Nothing for you to worry about!

(Hang on a minute. The Charter still refers to the Minister of Immigration and Regional Promotion. How and on what authority did we change the title?)

There have been questions about him since the beginning.
I undertook my own investigation and found him to be perhaps over enthusiastic but not a threat. Which I think might serve us well in the Security Council which (unless I'm mistaken) has no DSA presence at all, currently. Its a glorified ambassadorial position.

I was not however aware of ballot rigging allegations. Do you have any links to records regarding that? It might explain why he wanted to switch us to a google poll to fix the quote "corruption" in the DSA

I dont have all the information, i heard it through the IRL person behind the nation Bratislavskaya, who is very active in USSR, you will have to contact him for info. From what ive heard, the election was on google docs, and it was this that allowed him to 'rig' it, by entering a vote multiple times (apparently google docs voting is anonymous)

Can the WFE link to the Charter be replaced with this link to the forum, please?

Also, the WA Delegate-elect and MIRP of the Labour and Socialist International have put a motion to dissolve the LSI into the DSA due to inactivity within the LSI.
