Amendment to the Constitution: Voting Regulation
-
Debate starts NOW and will last until 04:45 GMT on August 14th, 2020.
Edward Firoux
Council Speaker and Councillor of Inquista -
I have no concerns, this is standard practice in regions throughout the world. What constitutes "have joined" the European Union could be up for debate, though. I'd assume this means they must be approved for EU membership to qualify. Applicant nations shouldn't be considered to have joined yet.
Wesley Greene
Councillor of the Duxburian Union -
I very much agree on the contents of these amendments. I fully support this motion Mr. Speaker.
Friedrich van Allen
Councilor, Kingdom of Reitzmag -
Quick correction, it was Tournis which voted for Eilidh Whiteford after being in the EU for 7 hours, not Sunkist. Eilidh Whiteford appreciates Sunkist's vote nonetheless.
Councillor Greene, I don't believe the EU has an application phase. Article I, Section II, Clause I states that "All sovereign states are free to join the European Union. No approval is necessary."
((OOC: Technically you are right, but the application phase is totally OOC and not IC. ICLy they are free to join without approval! ))
Edward Firoux
Council Speaker and Councillor for Inquista -
Mr. Speaker, it was not just that. Many nations such as the People Republic of Taltovia and many more voted during the last elections. With that I am very supportive of this motion.
Friedrich van Allen
Councilor, Kingdom of Reitzmag -
I'm for this amendment as it will avoid rigging the elections.
Donald D. Tusk
Councillor for Spain -
