Great opening

After discussion and vote by the county council of Somerset.

I am proud to said that we change the following article of book 3 of Somerset legal corpus:

Quote :

Art. 3.4.2. : All information given in the private council room forum is private. The only persons that can get information out is the Spokesperson, or any other council member that receives authorization to do so by the Duke. Any councillor that violates this article will be charged with high treason against Somerset duchy and can be sentenced to death or exile.

Discussion and voting related to the following subjects can only be held in the private council room :
i) All types of treaties
ii) Army, constabulary force, security proposals
iii) Trade
iv) Any proposal that the councilor who proposes it requests to be dicussed and voted on in the private council room

That means the creation of this room, here everyone can read the discussion that we held in public ouncil room. That is too show people what we do, and help them understand the decission we have to take, but also a way for you to know what is current going on in the council.

If you have comment and question about thing discuss and vote here you can ask in the office of one of the counsellor. Since only member of counsellor can post here.

I hope this open to all citizens show that we all here trully care about transperency,

Hello citizens that can now read this but cannot post, mwha

They can post in the offices of the councilors with posts, after looking at the discussions here if they want to.

And please do, we would like to hear your thoughts and opinions ..

Welcome to one and all.

Also I think Hypno means Grand Opening

Welcome, citizens of Somerset.

Another first for Somerset. Your council makes transparency of government a reality.

For Somerset, the best county in England.

If anyone would like to ask the Trade Minister anything, please feel free to ask me in my office at https://somerset.rpg-board.net/The-council-of-Somerset-c11/Counsellors-offices-c12/The-trade-minister-office-f45.htm

Welcome to the twilight zone...

Today's menu:
His Grace Duke Hypno,Baron of...etc,etc is breaking the electoral law he made himself.

Well known (and convicted) criminal Giapettin,although having commmited 2 robberies and an attempted one in the past 6 months is shinning on our Duke's electoral list. Evidence of this can be found here:

Quote :

The next election for the Council
will take place in 13 days.
Lists :

Somerset National Party (SNP) (Hypno, Dralon, Krelian, Chardonnay, Sir_winsalot, Gregarious, Lord_ra, Giapettin, Free, Free, Fredlight, Cleophas) -

Here are the violated articles of the Legal Corpus of Somerset:

Quote :

1.2.2. : The Duke is the protector of the Duchy, of its laws and of its citizens. His actions will always be for the protection of the people and the goods of the Duchy.

Art. 3.5.2.: Any person who has been convicted in any of the counties of the Kingdom of England within the last 6 months for any crime other than slavery shall be barred from holding any office in the Duchy of Somerset or her towns. Such a person is barred from registering a list for county council elections or being a member of a county election list posted by someone else. Such a person is also barred from registering as a mayoral candidate in any town of Somerset.

Any person who has been convicted of any crime other than slavery in any of the counties of the Kingdom of England within the last 6 months and who has either posted a list for the county council elections, or is running on someone else’s county election list, or has registered for a mayoral race without the authorization of the council or a pardon from the King of England or Regent of England or Duke of Somerset will be brought in front of the judge for trial for public disorder. If found guilty, such a person will face a punishment of a minimum of a 300 pound fine to a maximum of a 1000 pound fine.

Art. 2.1.6. : The participation or the complicity in a crime exposes the concerned individual to be prosecuted under complicity in a crime. Accomplices in a crime, if convicted, can be sentenced to a lower degree of sentence.

I will not prosecute Giapettin since His Grace can claim anytime that he has granted pardon to him. Nonetheless, I have seen no such pardon bearing the ducal seal.And I cannot prosecute the Duke for complicity to the crime,since the Law doesn't allow me to. I therefore expect our Duke to resign and not wait for the people to depose him in the upcoming election.

And I officially propose the law in violation( article 3.5.2 )to be abolished. A law that is not respected even by the one who proposed it,a discriminatory law , another tool of political manipulation.

And anyone wishing to approach my office is welcome

I think Duke Hypno should remove Giapettin from the list, its simple as that. Giapettin has been convicted of robbery in the last 6 months.

Well I mix up two nick I think, i was sure giepetin crime was made before the creation of somerset and that was over 7 month my mistake.

But anyone that had been head of list know to well that we cannot remove someone from the list after they confirm ...

But he want to be a good citizens and make effort to learn how thing get vote, or thing can work, have good idea on wage and social programs for new level 0 and 1 and I think we should give him a chance.

But I find real cheap and dirty politic by poli to bring that in public forum with out asking me first coming from someone that have not yet build up is list and for a national party that got criminal like the_light and many other, that have member of WOS in is rank to be real cheap.

But eh, this is election, some preferer to critize other and try to gain capital on attacking the canidates then giving new ideas how to improve the somerset governement and the life of the citizens of Somerset ...

Now is up to us to give chance to this man, he want to imporve the society, he know is chance is real small has 8 on a list of a new party in a election with 4 party is chance of get elected are near 10% maybe even less.

I have more trouble having person like teagan that is last post in council room is nearly since the beging day of this term and never done a thing since then. I prefer to have people that want to do something ...

Now should we let this person that is now proud owner of a tavern in Gloucester that start a cheap bread programs for over a month to help level 0 of Gloucester that is already helping the citizens of somerset that are poor and try to make an honest live and give to the poor? Or we just ignore him and cast him out for a error in is young time that we try to purchase back for over 1 month with is own money?

I haven't put up a list yet cause I m not going to participate in these elections due to irl restrictions.But I can't stand hypocricy.

As to the mud our gracious Duke is throwing at my party (United We Stand) it only shows the quality of his arguments.

As to the essence of the thing, I already voted on the issue of allowing Giapettin to run ,in the private room. I expect the Spokesman to announce my vote when the voting is complete.

I officially proposed the abolition of this law. Although I already know the result, I request a poll here in the public room with the question: Should article 3.5.2 of the Legal Corpus of Somerset be abolished?

I don't know if Lady Ellsbeth is referring to UWS,but UWS,after The_light's departure from the party, has not even one convicted person within its ranks. Not because we exclude them. We simply don't attract them.

The_light is no longuer UWS great now is caissia is still uws?

Just to be sure if i begin to trust uws or not

Caissa is still UWS and ex Justice of the English Court of Appeals. Former Judge of WIltshire and one of the most honorable men I know.

mmm ok

How many or should I say few men do you know M'Lord Poliphilous? ~innocent smile~

If you count the secret forums' aliases too, I guess I know enough men to be in the position to characterise Caissadiplomat as a most honorable man.
