(I'm interpreting these as forum affairs laws, and holding off on introducing any of the other amendments to that act to avoid confusion, because there's two more amendments to the original Act in the que right now and that could all be a clusterfukc.)

I support multiparty caucuses, but I'm willing to let them go for a little while because the party situation right now is quite hectic and deserves to shake out on it's own for awhile. And even if we did let multiparty caucuses into law, there's no way I would support allowing people be a member of multiple multiparty caucuses.

I will not at all, however, support the abolition of caucuses. They have worked quite well so far and deserve to continue forward as part of Atlasia in the future. This mad dash Napoleon keeps trying to make to shutting down, limiting, or amending out of existence, any of the reforms this Senate passes, is baffling.

This is ridiculous. Caucuses have no negative side effects, and there is absolutely no harm in letting them continue as a permanent fixture of the game. I don't understand where this desire comes from to immediately try and wipe away things we just worked our asses off to pass for literally no reason.

Forgive me for getting a little pissed off at the thought of months and months of campaigning and screaming at people and writing legislation and compromising with people getting tossed aside just because some people think that just because we dissolved the big parties we're now perfectly solved and can just go back to the way things were. That is insane.

Due to voting regulation, Nathan's vote will not count, but it also won't matter, as this bill is tied at 4-4-1, and I'll PM the Vice President for a tie breaking vote.
