Citizen #22:
Miestrâ Schivâ | > Right now we are just a non partisan think tank, but if the Chamber of Deputies continues to snore along its merry way and if our leaders continue to have such a narrow and restricted view of what Talossa can be, just maybe we would find it necessary to enter the political arena.
S:reu Lixhità, I consider myself honour bound to inform you that my government has no intention at this stage to introduce marriage laws in the Republic. And if the Chamber appears to be snoring, perhaps this is because the elected representatives of the Talossan Republic's people don't feel the need to propose legislation for the sake of it (as they seem to do in the Kingdom!) There is so much fun to do outside the legislative arena that I must confess that's where my attention is at the moment - although, as you've noticed, I have taken the initiative in proposing a legislative solution to the problems with the electoral system.
Further, I confess myself somewhat weary of your continued vague warnings along the lines of "if people don't take more notice of us, we may have to declare ourselves a political party". I suggest that there does not appear to be a snowball's chance in Havana of either major party taking your proposals seriously - I for one tend to roll my eyes and skip over the "marriage thread". So by all means cut the posturing and the false modesty. I hereby fully encourage the UTP to enter the political arena, as a competitor to the established parties. Talossa needs a third party (not counting the inactive Guelphs). I look forward to robust competition.
Of course there's not another Chamber election until February, but I note that you are a citizen of Port Maxhestic, a province which currently has no organised government or constitution. The constitution does not make marriage a federal matter - therefore, why not try bringing in your marriage proposals on a "trial basis" in PMX? That is, if your fellow citizens agree.
