Industrial Labor Relations Decentralization Bill (Failed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

One of the votes I missed in the 64th Senate as a result of Holiday Work hours. I did catch the override vote, but it did not matter. Thanks to collapse of the Center-right block in the Senate from the 62nd to the 64th Senates, there was nothing that could be done to stop this. Especially devasting in this regard was the defeat of Cris in the special election to replace Lumine. This Collective Bargaining Modernization Act had been defeated in the Spring of 2014, when the chamber had a center-right majority, but TNF reintroduced it almost immediately and when it finally came up again, the landscape had shfited drastically.

I can only hope the nominal purists who justified their defections on grounds of purity and "associations" are happy to have facilitated TNF's radical agenda.

I was happy to vote against this as a representative of the Southland and I will take great pleasure in voting to repeal it as a representative of the people all across this nation.

Actually the act to be repealled by this bill, was twice defeated in the era of Good Feelings by the five member center-right block and the Duke Adminstration breaking the tie, before TNF finally got it through in December.

     I would like to request an override of the veto.

but I think Senator Talleyrand is right

     And to think I used to think of you as one of the reasonable Laborites.

That is because Talleyrand was the original, "reasonable Laborite".

I would invite all non-Labour Senators and Labour Senators with common sense - namely, Talleyrand and Windjammer - to reach a consensual budget that address our budgetary crisis. I will not support a budget that doesn't reduce the deficit to less than 6% - and, trust me, it will be a lot worse than that.

Of course this was back in his "younger days", but while we are on the subject of that March special election, I woud like to thank Maxwell for all the assistance he gave JCL in making it to the final round. I am sure Griffin is thankfull as well.
