Also, I don't want this session to just continue literally forever, so voting for parties will close Sunday afternoon (Noon EST at the very earliest, maybe later depending on when I get a chance to count up all the votes). There will still be time to submit bills, form coalitions, and finishing voting for the leader of Monternos after that. But negotiating coalitions will be a lot less irritating if we know how many people are in which parties!

Rincewind posted:That seems like a fair enough way to do it. Note that the largest party would still get its four bills even if it were outside the coalition, but the coalition's bills would get precedence in the event of a conflict, and the coalition would be "in control" in terms of steering the general direction of Rome until the next session.   Sounds like a plan. 'Ey! Monternos! If my countin's right, current leadership vote is 5 - 2 in favor of Chronis-Jag, and 'm recommending we get this matter done sooner and join that Coalition, all right?

 I appreciate that you have concluded this bit of parliamentary policy, Hira. Some people might ask: Senator Jag, why need you run Monternos jointly? I say that after the effective term of party leadership under the Hira family, and how key Monternos has been in steering Rome in the right direction --- forward --- that for now it takes at least two men to do one great woman's job. Now to new policy. Monternos hereby joins the Coalition of Roman Stability.

Rincewind posted:In one sentence, describe how you think the empire could be made better. Not your flamboyant scheme, not a message to rile up the mob, but a mission statement for your political philosophy. How you'd try to steer the new state, if the old one comes down.  In addition to whatever Patter Song was talking about, I want to see a return of the sovereign rights the citizens of Rome once enjoyed. The passage of power from the de Mowbrays to the Radziwills happened in the presence of a flag with gold fringe, which means it happened under military jurisdiction instead of senatorial. Due to this one weird legal trick, we freemen of the land are not obligated to pay your taxes, and all laws since that time are null and void. And while no court has yet recognized any of this, I'm sure vindication is only a matter of time. Anyways I have a legislative idea to discuss, a monetary deregulation act. It would end the tyranny of the bankers on government: •The Empress will be barred from spending diplomatic points lowering inflation. •No inflation reducing advisers may be hired. •The local markets and betting houses will be made to recognize the currency I invented as legal tender in payment of debts. I don't know how a movement without leaders is supposed to submit legislation. If one of the mainstream parties hears this populist demand and gets a bill with these points passed, I will resign from the Discordians for two legislative sessions, easing pressure on you.

Rincewind posted:I should also note that the Discordians will send the current political system down in flames, and not necessarily the entire country. Do you remember what happened the last time I suggested we shut down the Black Chamber? I do. I remember fear, contempt, and abject terror. I remember the sudden rise of the banners of the Red Hand. I remember how it turned out that the senators are little more than the Emeperor's made men, given a ball to play and a court to play it in, but strictly forbidden to ever go out of bounds. The Byzantine Empire is not ruled by enlightened monarchs seeking to bring prosperity to everyone, it is ruled by tyrants seeking nothing but absolute power, and the Black Chamber is their arm against dissent. An Emperor who dabbles in subterfuge, assassinations and murders is dishonourable, and should not be trusted to not turn those tools against their own subjects. In fact, they already have a history of doing so, and even if the cases we can definitely confirm were usually rebellious Doukes, the act remains a surrender of the state - who should always seek to end conflicts in a manner that is just and does not transgress against the law of the realm. I am not against monarchy, or the Senate, or against the Byzantine Imperial Government. In fact, I find that its uniqueness should be preserved and further developed into a system better and wiser than any other the world has ever known. But I am against tyranny, and using cloak and dagger against the people definitely makes one a tyrant. The last time I proposed that we be freed of that influence I was shouted down by the senators - were they corrupt, cowardly or simply blinded by the ease with which they could dispose of foreign rulers and the Doukes they so hated, I do not know and do not wish to find out. But I will no longer beg in the Senate, nor seek to curry their favour, nor otherwise press for my goals within their system. I align with Discord to present them with an alternative: either give me what I want, or I will push for the order to break down and simply take it. Call it terrorism or black mail for all I care, but here I stand. I will seek transparency, honesty, and openness in the Empire, and start by shutting down the Black Chamber.

I thank my colleague for his welcome. Yes, to wish to claim inclusionism, to not only welcome different cultures, but to accept them as they are, and let them enrich our great beloved Empire is not some sign of weakness, it is a celebration of Rome's greatest strength. It is perhaps not the easiest path, but it leads to the brightest future. And I believe the well respected bible had a story about two paths, one of them easy and one of them hard, no? Also, I second that we join the Coalition. While I understand senator Tevery's concerns over the black chamber, to throw everyone into disorder seems like a horrifying consequence. Also, do we have a skype thing going as well?

  It is heartening that in the face of anarchy, those with Rome's best interests in mind, even with wildly differing visions of what that entails, are able to band together and oppose those who would crumble this very edifice in which we stand. We stand with the Empress, we stand with the Empire. This hearkens back to the Milvian-Old Roman coalition at the height of the Komemnian Era, which saw the Pentarchy restored and our borders at their greatest extent for a thousand years. We are Rome, and thus we are Civilization itself: We are people of faith and people of wealth, people of loyal service and people of opportunity. We defy barbarism and ruin, and are united against those who champion those perverse notions. To the idealists amongst the Discordians, those who wish for radical change with the best intentions as opposed to those who wish to see it all burn because they like the flames, it is not too late. We still have the capacity and the ability to achieve great things if we commit ourselves to the task, to work towards the goal of a better future for Rome. We are served better as allies than as anarchists, we can work better together rather than outside law and reason. I extend the open hand towards you: Renounce allegiance to that which would destroy us all, and join us in truly building a better, Roman world for one and all.

The Roman Senate lasted in various forms for over a thousand years (or more if you include us), while your Ming are only about a 140 years old. The Senate presided over some of the greatest eras of Roman history, and they seemed to do just fine for themselves. Even during the reign of the Emperors, the Senate endured, passing on a tradition of debate, loyalty, and service to our own body. It is your blind Sinophilia that is the abomination, your haste to cast off the fine traditions of Rome for those of the East.

We must bind the regions of the Empire ever closer to the center - decentralization gives people...ideas.
