I'm not criticizing Lime's approach, it's the vision I also had. However, the current legislation on the floor was proposed in response to President...

    Exclusive Interview With President Lloenflys: Reflecting On Legacy, Leadership, & The Future

    Thanks for the interview HEM and the insightful comments Calvin. I will say I know what it feels like to be halfway through an executive term and feel lost. I had very little interest in running for another term as FM, but it seemed nobody else was stepping up, so I threw together a campaign...

    Conversely: People's Assembly and the People's assent

    Representative model of government, as opposed to a delegate model. The Senate exists to represent the will of the populace, and the Constitution has strong guardrails in place to prevent them from straying from that mission. The Senate can pass legislation without the People's direct assent...
