I am of two minds here:
Mind One says, "Who knows Benetian business better than a Benitian?"
Mind Two says, "An outsider with no vested interest is likely to be more objective."

I guess I'm split and when it comes down to it, I'd never propose such a thing, but would happily support it.

My biggest issue is that outsiders have traditionally been even more inactive than Benitians. The only one who actually helped us build up the province was Owen. As Maestro, I sent JP a "welcome aboard, S:reu Vicere!" e-mail when he was first appointed. I never received a response.

I think it would be great if we could really take the reigns of the province and see where it takes us.

Oh, sorry, shoulda got to this yesterday:

Voting on the following is now open:
------
A RESOLUTION OF THE LEGISLATIVE CHANCELLERY TO THE KING

Whereas the Sovereign Province of Benito has proven itself capable of self-governance and

Whereas we have lacked an actively involved Vicere since the abdication of Owen Edwards and

Whereas we would really thrive with an active Vicere and

Whereas we believe the next Vicere of Benito should be a Benitian and

Whereas Canada and Australia bother have vice regal representatives appointed from among their own citizenry and

Whereas if you want a more provincially oriented example, Canadian provinces have a vice regal representative (Lieutenant Governor) appointed from their own citizenry and

Whereas, we are way cooler than Canada, but this is something to think about so

THEREFORE, we call upon the kindness of King John and pray that he grant us a Vicere from among our own number to represent His Royal Highness in the function and form of our government.

Voting will close on the 21st.

Excuse my bad English, but does it mean that the King have to choose a Benitian?

[Deleted]

We cannot force the king to choose a Benitian. It tells the King that we feel we prefer a Benitian and set forth an even tempered argument for such. Ultimately, it is up to the King.

I vote PER on this measure.

[Lüc da Schir]

Right, PER by me too.

[Lüc da Schir]

I hope the others honourables Chancellors will vote this measure...
We still need the vote of:
RUMP - Ch. MB. Perþonest, Ch. Conductour (two seats both); Ch. Asmorescu voted;
CeR - Ch. Blasius (one seat);
CSPP - Ch. Molinar, Ch. Vurinalt (one seat both);
MRPT - I voted.

Anyway, I'm not so sure that Ch.s Blasius, Molinar and Vurinalt will vote, it has been a long time since their last log in here.

[Vitxalmour Conductour]

Also Per

[Lüc da Schir]

Last day to vote. We have 6 PER, 0 AUS and 0 CON, with 5 non-votes. The measure would be passed anyway.

[Istefan Perþonest]

I cast AUS.

[Lüc da Schir]

Okay, even if I'm not the Maestro, votation time is up since about a week, and these are the results:

A RESOLUTION OF THE LEGISLATIVE CHANCELLERY TO THE KING

Party	Allotted	Name	Seats	Vote cast
CeR	1	Eldsfäts Blasiüs	1	--
CSPP	2	Flip Molinar	1	--
		Eiric Mataiwos Vürinalt	1	--
MRPT	2	Lüc da Schir	2	PER
RUMP	6	M. Istéfan E. Perþonest	2	AUS
		Adm. Timoþi M. Asmorescu	2	PER
		Vitxalmour Conductour	2	PER
TOTAL	11		11	6-0-2 (3 dnv)

Therefore the Maestro is humbly requested to report the result to the King.

[Istefan Perþonest]

Oh, yeah, sorry. Yes, it clearly passed. I'll forward to the King, yes.

[Istefan Perþonest]

Whereas the King has dissolved the 44th Cosa, this Legislative Chancellery is hereby dissolved as well.
