Rally Inquista:
The rally was well attended in the quest for support by Leeson ,he was confident as the only candidate backed by the EPA though he was aware it wasn't foregone. He feared what would happen if the syndicates candidate won. He understood the need for a more parcipatory Europe but the Syndicates approach awas anti-business , something that would never ever work especially if they wanted the DU and others on board. Something needed to be done to bring all together.

He went out as the song Work Together played

He then launched into the speech in front of the podium Making Europe work for all

The speech started:
"Fellow Europeans we stand on the precipice of the most important commissioner election ever, never has such hope and such challenges been at such a crossroads. This is literally a moment for the EU to come together or fall apart , there is no middle ground we are in survival. I today proudly stand for the EU and an even greater future making the EU work for all.

To achieve this we need to win and how will we win? We need all countries on board including countries like Angleter, Reitzmag and Duxubaron Union and our members who need more help like Nofoagoa a fine country who's potential is so great. But this will only work if we all work together. My first job as premier would be calling all nations leaders to invite them to have input on a new even greater democratic future a future that balances sovreignty and democracy. EACA needs reform not scrapping , we need democracy but I understand all systems need to be considered , same with the green new deal , each countries path will be different yet we should have the targets and co-operation.

I today unashamedly call for more sovreignty for nations while also unifying and helping our less wealthy members so we can all share in a joint common prosperity . A prosperity for workers and business where we have input from business and workers unions , where employees have a stake in their business but also the owners its not an either/or just as the Duchies has shown with its model of participatory cappitalism which should spread through a robust mix of a free market and workers protections. There is no need for radical leftist Berism yet no need for laissez faire we must meet in the middle and defeat both dangers . Workers and business working together, private and government working together for the good of society and I will achieve this with my plan.

Essential for a European future together is democracy working for all , we must have multiple members per country to allow democracy but also allow governments strong input we need a talk on how to achieve this and if EACA has to be replaced so be it that will be what needs to happen. We need a new deal protecting all including minorities in culture and ethnicity , we cannot go on divided and I will not let us go on divided.We will work together on the big common big picture items like climate , pandemics , emergency response , europe wide organised crime and forest fires for example while allowing tailored approaches for countries. The EU's should set goals not a rigid structure.

Also essential is making the continent equal for all we need for funds for nations like Nofoagoa and Pravoslaviya to develop with help from richer members in a form of a joint development fund to help our poorer members, its intolerable in union such as ours we are allowing poverty to continue this must change. We need infrastructure and poverty relieve at an EU led level. Will this cost money like Eurorail does yes but it also will benefit us by opening up more and more markets a wealthier EU is a better EU for all and I will lay the foundations for a wealthier EU. We need a long term revolution with the fire starting now.

Now onto the average joes they need protection and companies need certainty. No more should we have different standards for every country on safety , trade pricing and access , we need consistent free mobile roaming, consumer protections but also easy to understand common sense safety and consumer standards. What will this look like I'll be honest I don't know because I am one person, I will find out by working with the IAC and countries leaders to come up with sets of standards good for all including on environmental targets.

I pledge to continue Junckers work, Eurorail will expand and the environmental plan will happen. We will defeat the scurge of plastic waste and carbon emissions and I will look at going for a target of 2040 for more developed nations with EU support for all nations to decarbonise. This will temporarily be more expensive up front but I can assure you if we fail to act to keep within 1.5 celsius we will pay a far steeper economic price and its the poorest who will pay , that is not tolerable.

So when you vote , vote for a future for all , to make Europe work for all , there is no other way and Berrism, Trimpovism or Winstonism is not the answer we need a new radical centrist vision for Europe that is for workers and business owners, rich countries and poorer countries a vision that works for all Europeans. However we must especially oppose Berrism and Trimpovism there is no room for far leftism or a nationalist populist future for Europe if we want to solve our issues.

Thank you very much! A long may Europe live on together!"

Levels of Government:
Local Government:Local government is divided between city and regional councils which run local services like libraries, public services and local transport though many share service responsibilities between councils . The next level up is Duchy government with this which run Duchy Wide transport and decide most national economic policy including minimum wage and multi-regional rail and running local Health Services and Education with funding from Central government.These are run fully democratically at local and Duchy level though each region also has its own allocated percent of seats that are selected by Barons(one each).The highest legislature in a Duchy is the Dutchy Assembly consisted of some members appointed by the Duke/Duchess and a majority elected by the people . The Duchy's also decide laws on social issues such as marriage, drugs , alcohol and other issues.

Each Duchy is run by an elected First Minister and then Head of State in the Duke/Duchess which is either elected from among the Barons of the Duchy or held by a royal family.

Each Duchy has its own Duchy High Court with Judges appointed for life or until selected for the Royal Court by the Duke/Duchess. Each appointment is approved by Duchy Assembly.
United Duchies Government
The next level up in government is the House of Commons which is a fully elected house with 650 seats including 500 seats with 150 seats being national list seats to help keep elections proportional by making up party seats to the national totals. The Prime Minister is elected from this house from the biggest party generally by convention and the nation who then also selects his cabinet generally from this house.

The second branch of parliament is the House of Duchies with 30 seats for each duchy or 240 seats.

The third branch of the national parliament is the Imperial Senate consisting of experts appointed by Unions, Business Guilds and Professional Organisations, Churches, Dukes and the High Duke with Barons getting a seat automatically. These parliaments decide immigration law, national social laws, economic laws, national transport police, environmental policy on a national basis,health welfare , defense and foreign policy.The parliament also appoint some members to the board of the Dutchies Investment Fund . When the High Duke dies an election is held for the new High Duke/Duchess position with current Dukes and Duchesses who choose to run or a nominated son and daughter of a Duke or Duchess being the candidates. The election consists of gaining a majority of the House of Duchies which has 30 elected seats in each duchy for a total of 240 and The Imperial Senate. If on can win a majority in both houses then they are crowned High Duke or High Duchess for their life or until they relinquish the throne though this is not traditionally done if one candidate cannot be agreed by both houses the top 2 in terms of votes will draw lots for the throne. Bills must pass through all 3 houses and be signed by the Duke after it is declared constitutional by the Ducal Court for it to become law.

The Highest position in government is the High Duke/Duchess this role is equivalent to King/Queen. This position is mainly ceremonial though the High Duke/Duchess does hold the power to refuse or accept any Prime Minister or his cabinet that is selected by parliament and also is the final person to sign a bill into law after it is checked for legality by the Ducal Court which currently has 9 members appointed by the High Duke and 1 by each Duchies Duke or Duchess. If the High Duke/Duchess refuses to sign a law it makes its way back to the House of Duchies where it must gain 66% of the vote in order to pass though this is rare and traditionally the High Duke/Duchess signs laws that have passed the House of Duchies and Imperial Senate.

The highest constitutional court of the Duchies is the Royal Court which has 4 Judges selected to serve for life by the High Duke/Duchess with 1 candidate selected by each Duchy Duke/Duchess. All these are then approved by a majority of 66% of both the House of Duchies and Imperial Senate.This court is based in Cair Para.

Below this is the Supreme Court which is the highest level of criminal and civil court generally though some civil cases may go up to the Royal Court.

Alliance of Royalists
Economic :Centrist
Social:National conservative/Religious conservatism
About:The party is considered to be very right wing due to its stances opposing gay marriage, being supportive of restrictive abortion policy and against mass immigration especially from poorer nations.

The party is seen as far right by some people.

New Dawn

Economic :Syndicalist
Social:Ultranationalist
About:New Dawn supports a reorganisation of the Duchies. While it would still keep the Dukes with would focus on a syndicalist platform with vast swathes of the economy nationalised.

The party would ban immigration except for spousal immigration and is hostile to immigrants wanting to stop any access to benefits and initiate a 30 year period until one can be a citizen.It would ban importing of workers unless there is no Duchian who can do the job. The party is very activist and provides assistance to people of white "pure-blood" Duchian status.It says it opposes the "invasion of immigrants supported by corporatist elites" and is especially hostile to Islam which it claims wants to create a islamostate in the Duchies.

Congestion Charge:
Every city over 150,000 people must implement a congestion charge of at least 8 Euros in its city centre. The charge is meant to discourage driving in eveyy day. There are many cities where there are schemes that allow electric car owners to drive in for 1 day a week after 10:00 with no charge if they register with the local authority their car with proof they live in the city in question and every city allows disabled car owners in free if their condition qualifies for free entry into the city centre.Most big cities charge 15 Euros per day.People living within the zone get a 90% discount on the congestion charge and must also register with the council.
Government responsibilities:
The Duchies governments are responsible for education, regional transport and housing though can fund other schemes if they wish.

The Local authorities are responsible for Local government services including waste management, youth services , marriage registeries, housing and social care for the vulnerable and elderly.They are also responsible for running emergency services including the fire services and police services. Though they can opt to join together to form bigger service areas and most do.This system was introduced in 1946 as a solution to the pensions needed at the time. Pensions before had been provided through welfare associations.This increases with inflation over time.

Economic laws:The country developed into a social market economy. Free entrerprise is allowed but highly regulated for environmental, safety and labour standards with a high minimum wage to protect society and employees there have however been criticisms of the state as a nanny state restricting the economy. Despite this it has been hard to roll back on regulations due to this being seen as pandering to big business and people who suggest it being seen as either paid to say it or being selfish.Indepdendent contractors are required to carry contractor insurance for loss of income and big businesses over 250 employees are required to have at least 33% of the board be employee representitives elected by the employees.

Levels of Government with Primary Responsibilities:

Jobs Market:Top jobs in management and safe jobs are typically given to people of the 3 highest castes the Pujaree, Kulleen and Saudaagar with jobs considered below the highest castes status but safe are given more to the Komal with lower pay than the top 3 castes. The lowest jobs including the most dangerous are reserved for the Log Gadadee with long hours high deductions for housing and food as well as no consideration for safety. It is not uncommon to send the smallest of the lowest caste under the machines while working to clean or clear out blockages as doing so is often cheaper than losing productivity in factories or sending them to clean higher risk areas such as chimneys and if the child doesn't make it out alive you can always just bury them a compostable waste bag and be done with it and get a replacement. To stop escapes many factories are gated with permission needed to leave and nets to stop suicides and the companies providing stores and basic facilities in the factories residential compounds. The government price passports at €4,000 each in order to prevent aqcuiring means to leave and require Svarnans pay a €100 exit fee each to leave the country for a holiday or a €400 per year each unlimited exit fee allowing the person to leave the country for trips unlimited times.

Government announce plan for private rail in Duchies
Today the government of United Duchies have announced a part privatisation of the rail system. The government announced they would allow private companies to set up with track rights in the United Duchies. The government will split the national train operating company Duchies Rail from the tracks operating division which will be split into a company called Duchies Track to manage the railway upgrades, access , stations and signalling.

Private companies will then be allowed to bid to run services between stations by obtaining an operating license. The move is designed to increase competition and options with train services for all budgets. It is expected that some budget train companies will develop along with entry of other countries operators into the market. The government said no company would be garunteed competition free access including the regional train companies and transit agencies. THe government also announced they would look into a public transport wide season pass between all public owned companies with private companies able to opt in. The plan is to increase rail travel even further. Bids are expected from many companies to access the market.

2nd July 2021
Stiofán Lughaidh Durbar had been in office for just one week. Finally they'd got rid of the extreme PoT after 15 years though it was disappointing they still got the most votes and seats. She knew there would need to be a big drive to fix the damage done by the extreme PoT campaign and its consequences.She waited at the platforms for the Czech ministers to arrive , the Czech government wouid be a vital socialist ally in coming years as the programme to socialise the Strathae economy more began . It was not long now until they could discuss the issues and seek a good immigration deal and trade deal with the Czech government.

The High Duke arrived to the greeting of his diplomat on the Aerodux flight to Kazmurbirha. Once they landed he deboarded the plane first with his security detail to meet up with the diplomat to Ruthund Hunter Barnes , his 3 children 9-13 and his wife. He asked how the family was getting on. They then made their way to the limousine , they were amazed by the smell of the city as they drove towards the city , soon they'd be at the starting place for the days events.

Rachel Reubenstein-Roscoe Co-Ceo along with Co-Ceo Ruth Cadbury said in a joint statement "We believe it is time to give our business to the workers as a legacy of our families values. We have run the business in accordance with putting the worker first and benefiting future generations. The shares have been gifted under deed restriction that they cannot be sold by either the Union for Roscoes Workers or the Roscoes Foundation or any of their sucessors. We hope this will keep the businesses values and ethics safe in the long term . No more voting shares may be issued on the stock market by covenant in order to protect the business from outsider infiltration." It is rumoured businesses like TUI have been considering also moving to semi-worker owned model.

Moderate- Centre Left Coalition confirmed
Today a Moderate , Liberal and PSD coalition has been confirmed after the election results last week with the three party government having a majority of 145 in the house of Commons and 22 in the House of Duchies. The new government is to focus on the increase of public services using economic growth , simplifying international trade through treaties and EU laws and increased labour protections for workers. The coalition are to commit to a raising of minimum wage increase to 22 Dux Libra or 6.2% increase , an increase of Paternity and Maternity leave to 15 weeks within 1 year of birth of a child and increase to 11 weeks of paid time off. The lack of lowering the hours before overtime cap is a notable and it is understood the Moderate Party was concerned lowering this would impact the economy too significantly believing the current cap is set at the right place. The coalition government will also result in a network of 7 million plus linked up DuchiesGuard Smart CCTV network with residents able to recieve payment to integrate private residence street facing CCTV and doorbells into the network to fight security risks and reduce incidence of crime. A priority of the government is to prepare for the summit with Leagio within the next week.The Liberal party secured the ending of non-public owned prisons and more priority of community sentences for less serious crimes as well as less severe prison sentences in return for the smart cctv and stricter punishments of more violent crimes,

The election resulted in the election of Aviv Rubenstein-Roscoe, Uri Mizachi-Roscoe and Jade Abbott Durham into the House of commons for the Brummagem South , Southwest and South East seats for the Moderate party. The election ha also resulted in the resignation of the UoD leader after their loss of 94 of their 111 House of Commons seats and 32 of ther 39 House of Duchies seats to the Moderate Party and Unus.The party is rumoured to be in civil war with a potential collapse of the party in the near future.

Council Gridlock
I must state my absolute disappointment in the council gridlock caused by officials not moving acts through on time or on schedule. The people of Europe and governments of Europe voted for a council that works and actually proceeds with legislation. I have limited time in office and want to use this time to benefit the European people by continuing to harmonises standards through acts. This is being obstructed by obstructionists and inefficient council procedures and beaurocracy. I urge the council to vote on legislation in good time and work with my commission to pass acts that benefit the European people through harmonisation of policies on trade, quality standards and safety to ensure cheaper more affordable goods for all in the EU through simplifying of red tape.The commission cannot do its job if the council is not sticking to times set out in the constitution and efficiently moving legislation through the council.

Roscoes released without charge from Czechslavia
Today news has come through that the Roscoes arrested in Czechslavia Yohanna, Danya and Mathias have been released and are now in the United Duchies. Reports indicate no charges were pursued in the end by Czechslavia in what was seen by many as a political arrest to distract from domestic issues in the country. It is not known if a deal was struck for the release and what was in the deal if one exists.

However recently the Duchian Business Council has revised its stance on Czechslavia. The Duchian Business Council has now said "We do not believe buying goods from Czechslavia is a risky venture and partnerships of limited nature for production of goods in Czechslavia is a safe investment. We still believe there is work to be done if Czechslavia is to be considered safe for foreign owned assets fully but business with Czechslavian companies in the context of importing goods not of sensitive IP nature from Czechslavia is safe for businesses to do."It is not known whether Roscoes intend to conduct any business with Czechslavia in the future.

PSD announce workers benefits boost plan
Today the PSD rallied on their workers benefits plan in a press conference with unions. The party pledged the following proposals:

Benefit	New	Current
Paid time off	11 Weeks	9 Weeks
Minimum wage from January 2025	25 Dux Libra per hour	20.70 Dux Libra per hour
Paternity/Maternity Leave	15 Weeks within 1 year of birth	10 Weeks within 1 year of birth
Weekley Hours cap before overtime	28 Hours per Week	35 Hours

The pitch it seen as a radical increase in workers rights and conditions if elected into government with the PSD saying these increases and an increase of 10% in benefits rates would be the major red lines for a coalition. The Party said "We believe the hard working people of this nation should keep more of the growing wealth of this nation. We also believe these proposals will as backed by evidence be a win win for workers and business alike as evidence shows this policy results in increased productivity." The Moderate Party have kept tight lipped about these areas though they have pledged an increase in minimum wage to 22 Dux Libra by January 2025 while the UoD opposed the proposals describing them as a "economic suicide of the highest magnitude". Unus and AfD refused to comment on the platform only saying "We believe in workers rights and protecting Duchian workers interests." The Liberal Party have proposed minimal changes in labour policy saying " We believe the balance works well now though are open to changes in return for the right policies getting through in other areas." The Liberal Party are expected to be willing to compromise in return for some reforms of criminal justice to lighten sentences and increase community service sentencing for "minor crimes" .

I thank the right honourable councillor of the Duxburian Union and welcome his amendments. I do believe the new technology clause is flexible enough as it reads "such as" so wouldn't limit new technologies only to blockchain or crypto but just cites them as examples .

I do not believe that retail banking is obsolete or close to being so since many want the stability of an institution and protection of security features and financial protection offered by the industry. The chargeback and EuroPay Guard I believe is necessary to provide confidence in the network that would encourage people to use the system and its much better to have it organised at the Euro Pay level than through the banks or financial institutions without such a protection the system will be far too open to fraud and by setting aside a fund of 0.5% of transactions on the network we can cover transactions where money cannot be recovered from an account.

James Mizrachi-Roscoe, IAC commissioner

I am pleased with your support of the idea and take not of your oppinion on the voting majority. Howevery there needs to be a figure in place for committee decisions so I chose to use the European council principle.I settled on the 55% + 1 for sanctions as its the criteria the European councils vote level but adds a layer of protection to require more uniformity to impose sanctions.

I am concerned by eliminating the provision that the EuroPay network has to work to implement new technologies in its systems could potentially cause it to gradually become outdated. The EuroPay network needs to move with the times to use them most relevant payment technology of the day so would disagree with ammendment II.
