[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

why are you reposting this stuff here?

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

Probably because he's the Senéchal da Cézembre .

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

I understand that, but this what just kind of random + all of this is already on the website

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

I agree. Let's take him out back and beat the hell out of him.

Oh, wait a second. This isn't my province at all.







I better butt out.

Ha! I was like cracking up when I read this! It just seemed strange...I was wondering if there was any specific reason for it, that's all.

My dearest Vuodian
Because I want to post this HERE! Have some problems to my posts?

Oh you want some specific reasons:
Because I'm the Senéchal

And why Lord Hooligan publish this in Vuode?

The election by the States-General is all that is necessary. That body currently sits, with the following membership:

Sir Trotxâ Beteñéir (9 seats), Viteu Toctviac'htéir (8 seats), and Yassine Khalifi (8 seats).

The reason is one Because HE in the Senéchal.

Regards my friend,

P.S. If you want some more reasons, please let me know!

Am I to take it l'États consist of 23 seats? Or is that an arbitrary calculation? How will the new handout be sorted?

It did after the last election, because the OrgLaw used to provide that the number of seats in the provincial legislature equaled the number of Cosa seats assigned to the province. But Cosa seats aren't allocated by province anymore. After this election, provincial legislatures consist of a number of seats equal to the number of ballots cast by citizens of that province during the most recent election. By default, that is. Provinces can change that by adopting a provincial constitution providing otherwise.

[King John]

In the absence of Provincial legislation to the contrary, the number of seats in the Provincial Assembly is the same as the number of votes cast for the Provincial Assembly. (Which makes it easy to divide them among the parties ...)

— John R

[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

Number of actual voters = Number of seats in the assembly.

(3rd time's the charm!)

[Sir C. M. Siervicül]

Which, in retrospect, may not have been the very best way to arrange things. All the more reason for provinces to get their affairs in order and pass a constitution!

[Owen Edwards]

Well, theoretically it grants the correct proportion - it just means there is less incentive to involve multiple people on the Etats, when a majority party can always win by having one person hold their 5 seats.

That in itself is not a good thing, if true, because a one-man legislature is effectively a dictator. But the law doesn't actually say that one person can hold multiple seats. It used to imply that by saying that distribution of seats in the provincial legislatures is the same as distribution of seats in the Cosa, but that language is gone. And the normal assumption would be that each seat in a legislative body is meant to be held by a different person.

[Owen Edwards]

I'd agree completely that it is not a good thing, but one fears enough people might not be found to change that reality by any margin.
