Protest of Imperial Decree #425.

[Erik Mortis]

This resolution is to state the Landsraad's outrage over the Kaiser's blatant disregard for Shireroth tradition and history in his attempt to replace the Shirerothian flag.

[Erik Mortis]

Dolor, Aye (2).

This shall be the last vote cast by Dolor within the Landsraad until such time as Imperial Decree #425 is repeal/amended and Kaiser Leto III no longer sits upon the throne. From this point on Dolor is in true rebellion and boycott of the government of Leto III.

[Harvey Steffke]

Parvatvana AYE (3), with similar reasoning and consequence.

[AryezturMejorkhor]

Goldshire (4)- Aye

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Straylight likes the new flag, but disagrees (respectfully) with the Kaiser's decision to decree it unilaterally. Since the resolution was framed as joint outrage at both, Straylight courteously abstains (10)

[Kaiser Leto III]

Can the Landsraad vote about an Imperial decree? This smells like... democracy!


EDIT: We should ignore the votes of the rebels, as they are boycotting the Shirerithian institutions.

[Malliki Tosha]

It could, but it would be a non-binding sense of the Landsraad resolution.

And, Your Niftiness, I advise you not to interfere with internal Landsraad matters.

[Leo Fenrir]

It could, but it would be a non-binding sense of the Landsraad resolution.

Unacceptable.

I urge the citizens of Shireroth to join the rebellion and overturn this tyrant who would destroy our culture.

[Malliki Tosha]

Now that the decree is repealed, the Landsraad could pass an act with the same content. However, the Landsraad cannot hold a binding vote concerning an imperial decree. The Kaiser is supreme.

[Daniel Farewell]

The issue is moot.

[Harvey Steffke]

Technically it's not. This was a resolution to issue a protest, nothing more. If you do not feel the protest is needed, you can vote NAY.

[Malliki Tosha]

It is moot, since the decree was repealed. What is the point of protesting against something that is not in effect anymore?

[Harvey Steffke]

To prove that we can, and so that we can have the protest go down on the books and in history as having been made.

[Malliki Tosha]

G. Lakhesis (2) - Nay

[Daniel Farewell]

Brookshire - Nay (6)

[Ryan]

Yardistan, Nay (10)

[W.Payne]

Kildare (10) votes NAY.

[Allot]

This bill fails 9-28-10 abstaining.
