There is an upcoming election as Speaker of our IDS Legislature, and SJoyceFla declared. I liked Jbrase, but SJoyceFla is much more complicated to work with, and I fear a little when he'll have the hand on the Assembly's agenda... We have 2 Bloc MPs, 2 Labor, and Duke. I just saw this instant that Griffin declared as well. So we'll have to seduce Duke to have the seat. I don't know Adam if you really want this office hard or if it's just in order to give SJoyceFla an opponent, but if it's explained to me by previous holders I would be ready to run for Speaker myself.
I'd be interested to hear what part of my record Labor opposes. Is it the education reform, the drilling restrictions, my campaign promise to repeal parts of the Right-To-Work law, making it easier to repeal representatives, the agriculture thing you guys proposed, creating basic standards of humanity for animal breeding, attempting to create a chain of regional parks/protected areas, or my infrastructure proposals? The only times I can recall being adamantly opposed to Labor proposals were on the National University bill (which was eventually resolved in a manner I found somewhat satisfactory) and Operation Cottonfield.
