Awesome.

Interesting that there's a three-way tie for the largest caucus. It'll be fascinating to see how the resulting parties develop if dissolution passes.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Our caucus would be doing way better if it wasn't such a huge fail

Notice: Due to the high level of partisan volatility, I will delay my update of the voter rolls for a few days so that the party dissolution can play itself out.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

We demand an interim update!

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

How about the Caucuses (since they'll become parties)

[pillage the village, trash the scene]

And NCP is officially dead now!

[Californian Tony]

The JCP and the RPP don't exist anymore, so technically their members would be independent no ?

[Fritz]

I believe that goes into effect Feb. 1.

[homelycooking]

I don't interpret the CIFA as requiring the automatic formation of new parties. It says that the dissolving parties may permit the spinning off of their old caucuses, but are implicitly not required to. In any case, I would have a strong revulsion to creating new parties without any of the caucus members' input. Assigning people to parties without their consent is not the proper role of the Registrar.

As it stands, though, the NPL has five members and the SDC has nine. The R2L, Liberal and Liberty caucuses are no longer official. It's likely that in a few days before February 1, there will be no official caucuses left to make parties out of.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Would you mind if I did an unofficial update?

[homelycooking]

Yes, because I'm about to do an official update.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Including caucus membership?

[homelycooking]

Including caucus membership?

I could, but why? There's only one caucus left of any size or importance.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I wanna know exactly where we stand. I'm curious to see all the numbers. Once the parties dissolve, each caucus becomes a party, if I read the law correctly, so it's good to know. no?

That's not the way I read the law.

The bill says:

Section 5: Party dissolution
1. Should a party dissolve itself in accordance with the Sublimation Act, it may allow its caucuses to become full-fledged parties at the time of dissolution.

Has the JCP "allowed" its caucuses to form parties? The bill seems to indicate that it doesn't have to.

I can tell you, however, that there are two caucuses remaining with official status: the Social Democratic Caucus (9 members) and the Non-Partisan League (5 members). All the rest have lost enough members to drop them below 5.

You're so impatient. I always fix that stuff straight away.

Thanks!
