Title: IDS 1: State Representation Act (Passed) Post by: Flake on October 17, 2014, 06:15:51 PM IDS State Representation Act 1. No person may claim to represent a state of the Imperial Dominion of the South without express permission from the Imperial Legislature, the government of Atlasia, or some other organization imbued with that power by the aforementioned bodies. Title: Re: IDS 1: State Representation Act Post by: Dereich on October 17, 2014, 10:11:26 PM The idea behind this came from the recent crisis; in other regions several Atlasians decided to unilaterally secede their states from Atlasia. Looking back in IDS history, we had a legislator here try to secede (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=162233.msg3544708#msg3544708) speaking for a state which he decided he had power over. I doubt this would change much in practice, but I think the principle that only the elected legislature represents the states should be emphasized in statute.
Title: Re: IDS 1: State Representation Act Post by: Flake on October 17, 2014, 10:38:41 PM This really doesn't seem controversial at all. Do we really need to debate it?
Title: Re: IDS 1: State Representation Act Post by: Pingvin on October 18, 2014, 03:31:23 PM I don't think so. Pretty clear and necessary.
Title: Re: IDS 1: State Representation Act Post by: Maxwell on October 18, 2014, 04:38:11 PM I think someone in the legislature can motion a vote for this.
Title: Re: IDS 1: State Representation Act Post by: Flake on October 18, 2014, 05:33:39 PM I'd like to put this to a vote.
Title: Re: IDS 1: State Representation Act Post by: Flake on October 20, 2014, 12:40:02 PM I'm not entirely sure of the IDS's voting procedures (I kind of had to make it up as I went in the early pacific stages) so are we able to start a vote now?
