Landsraad 10: Emergency bills

Post by Kaiseress Semisa I »

Article 2, Section C, Clause 2

From:
For an emergency bill, standard quorum is reduced to one third (1/3) of votes or one third (1/3) of nobles having voted. The Pr�tor, at the end of the three days may choose to waive this quorum but one half (1/2) of all votes cast must be in the affirmative for the bill to pass.
To:
For an emergency bill, standard quorum is reduced to one third (33%) of votes or one third (33%) of nobles having voted. The Praetor, at the end of the two (2) day voting period may choose to waive this quorum but one half (50%) of all votes cast must be in the affirmative for the bill to pass in this manner.
Reason: Correction of percentiles and length of voting period.

As David pointed out in the Front Gate, 1/3 != 33%. I would just remove the percentages, but otherwise it looks just fine. *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

Assuming the quorum system is kept, this is a good provision.

Quorum tastes like chicken, and this works too. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Since I'm pretty sure that "one third (33%) of votes" and "one third (33%) of nobles having voted" are two different things (aren't they?), at whose discretion is it which one is chosen?
