This is more or less how I feel about it, but introspection can be a valuable tool, and the CA discussion may have some potential.

To add on to this, this is the only side of Europeia that I have ever known, and at times it's very isolating. Being told not to trust anyone when you don't actually know anyone leaves you in this awkward position of not being a part of anything, and when you feel like you can't trust people, it...

Out of interest, and I don't mean to intrude, but do these people know they've been affected?

Sometimes it's harder to fight for/against those smaller changes than the bigger ones.

Laughing more than I should :emb:

Oh, yeah :lol: Guten Morgen! No they're not. :P

It isn't an argument, sorry, I'm just trying to have fun :( I shouldn't even be awake, it's 6 am here...

Can't vote if you're removed from Office for removing speaking rights from your trusted and respected advisors! I do hope I'm not giving anybody ideas :shifty:

Hahah! I think what I'm getting at is in a 'my word against yours' situation, a Senator in a weak Senate (no offence to the hypothetical Senators) will probably lose out to an HC, because the HC is seen as valuable and the Senator expendable. That's why the situation is dangerous, because...

Why do Senators never read the EBC comments? How are we supposed to trust that they're keeping up with the discussion?! :angry:

It's kind of annoying to be debating four points at a time :lol: EDIT: Also, a smart Senate does realise the implications, and has since voted 4-2 for this amendment :gentleman:

On the contrary, there is a counter to every point you have made. Firstly, you have taken that post slightly out of context. Our current HCs have experience and knowledge in all the areas the Senate legislates -- that's collectively. These people are obviously not the problem. Next, actually...

Or just hold Senators accountable if they don't keep up with debates? They're elected in part as representatives, in order to represent us they need to at least know what we're talking about. There's nothing wrong with calling out Senators who don't appear as if they're doing what they're...

It helped me! Actually, the more I talk about this the more my opinions on the matter are validated :emb: Whether you're aware of it or not, you are restricting the options here. How many different methods actually are there of communicating with Senators? Also, HCs can DM Senators anyway and...

While the 'against' argument eventually comes full circle, the 'for' argument doesn't. There remains reasons for its removal that persist and swell, which is why the amendment has received so much support.
