Citizen participation in the Senate

[Franzl]

The Senate is a very open institution, and I'm happy that all citizens have access to it and are able to express their views.

One of the best ways for citizens to participate in Senate discussion is by posting in the protest and analysis thread. This way, everyone can make their voices heard without interfering in Senate business.

The Senate floor itself, however, is a unique place for elected senators and other important office holders to debate meaningful legislation for Atlasia.

I hope I speak for my fellow senators in humbly requesting that comments from outsiders be posted at the correct location. I have no problem with a comment every now and then.....but ultimately, we hold Senate elections for a reason, and representative democracy means allowing those elected to represent the people to make decisions among themselves.

I am working on legislation in regards to this problem, if anyone wants to work with me.

I have been considering similar measures....but it might be best to try and solve the problem on a voluntary basis first.

We don't need to close the doors of the Senate as a result. I would simply appreciate if citizens refrained voluntarily from overly excessive participation on the Senate floor.

It's worked that way for a long time.

I don't think anyone is opposed to the manner in which you participate, PiT.

This is more or less about a certain citizen....
