We, the parliament of NSG, do hereby enact
A Resolution

Whereas we, as a parliament are unable to act because of absent members, and therefore unable to carry out the duties placed upon us by our constituents.

Whereas we, the remain members of the parliament are of the opinion that the rules are excessively restrictive.

We ammend the rules of the Parliament to include a clause that if a roll call is held, and less than 2/3 of members of Parliament answer the call within one week, that those remaining members of the parliament shall be polled regarding the dissolution of parliament. If a simple majority is in favor of disssolution, then new elections shall be held.

We establish the rules for calling a roll call to be the call of a single member. That member shall appoint a member of Parliament other than themselves to be in charge of the Call. If there are no other members, they may oversee the call.

We declare that, for the purposes of this bill, a simple majority of all voting members shall be sufficient for the passage of the bill.

Debate is now open, to be closed on March 20th or 21st (depending on location).

Note regarding voting

Ironically, we'd probably get more done...

I voted Yay. However, an interesting problem has arisen. I now speak for three NBIP members, as Philosophy was the fourth; how on Earth can one show that in the poll?

I think we should pass a Bill that Parliament dissolves itself immediately after an election and waits four months for the next elections. :)

But, NBIP appears to be in favour of this Bill, so I shall vote for it.

So far as I know we have no rules regarding MPs holding multiple seats. I will quote your post at the top, and use that in the final count. How's that?

Yay.

NBIP has an agreement that one MP spoke for all unless the others specified their disagreement; as all of ours disappeared and I'm the current NBIP leader I speak for them.
Since Philosophy's returned I speak for three now rather than four.

Friends, friends. Work with me, not against me. I will appoint you to high positions of office within my new and glorious administration. We need firm leadership qualities, not a gaggle of haggling delegates accomplishing nothing! Leadership qualities which I possess. Like strength, and brutal honesty, and the ability to disappear opponents! And paranoia, and sadism! Yes, I am wonderful, join me, and together we will rule NSG as father and sons!

A temporary truce and alliance against this would-be dictator?
And after the whole affair I'm sure we could work together; our state of open war does get rather tiring.
