Well, it's not my problem if some people are sore winners. Okay, let's be more precise. Eric has been polite in his political ripostes, if rather comatose on the job. Andy, Jim and Jan H have gotten on with the job. Ugo has been absent, possibly best for the mental health of all concerned.

There is only one Peculiarist who has gone out of his way to needle and provoke the ZRT opposition when we were simply doing our job to hold the government to account - and indeed seems personally offended that we don't approve of the government's policies or practice. It's that same Peculiarist who continually tried to pick personal fights during the election rather than concentrating on policies. It's the same Peculiarist who will be out of a job that he was never fit for in the first place in a couple of weeks, precisely because his duty to be head of state and defend the Constitution always came second to his duty to needle the Defencists - or, should I say, one Defencist in particular.

Miestrâ Schivâ		And take a deep breath. We are all Talossans here-lest not allow a little thing like politics get in the way.

I'd hate to see anyone, escpecially two of our most distinguished citizens, despair of this country, certainly over election rhetoric. Lets try not to drive into the ditch. The Republic would be a poorer place without either of you.

Thanks, Diarmuid.

Not to butt in here, but I would like to say a bit about my comatose-ness. A great deal of this has to do with my own administrative background and whatnot. As I pictured the Seneschal as a sort of collaborator in chief among the panel of Ministers. If I have not been particularly visible, it has been because I have not been needed there particularly. Perhaps my concept of Seneschal is completely wrong, but this is what my view has been.

As far as my sort of "pet-project" goes, the Virtual Haxh, it is going slowly. As with anything, getting a few people completely synced is like herding fruit bats and water buffaloes simultaneously. But here's hoping it'll work out.

Cheers,

To some degree it is a style thing, and you are certainly more laid back than your two ZRT predecessors, which I don't object to. But the Constitution says that the Seneschál sets government policy and directs all the other Ministers - he or she is the buck-stops-here of the Government's work (as opposed to the President, who has to keep the whole bigger-picture of the Republic running smoothly). For that reason, it is the Seneschál who the people look to for explanations of what's going on in all government departments - not the least because you don't have a Ministry of your own. People wonder what you do with your Talossan-related time.

A small step in what I would consider a right direction would be regular updates on where these and other Government projects are going. The ZRT made a conscious choice not to fill up the Chamber with Questions all the time, but we would expect you to do this without being prompted. This will of course make it easier to hand it over to your successor if you're out of a job come Tuesday. :-)
