Particracy Forum

Why should the second-largest party be completely excluded from government? The ACU votes NAY.

As a note to the honourable representative. The ACEC is a impartial, independent executive from the parliament. While the largest party, which is us, can propose the individuals to it, the ACEC is expected to act in the best interest of the member state and thus do not belong to specific parties.

The APP votes Aye

Aye

The proposal for the election of the second Artanian Executive or ACEC has been adopted with a majority. 391 voted in favour, 204 against and 40 abstained. This means the new ACEC has been installed consisting of:

President of the Artanian Community
Tristan Schulman (Social Democrat)
Controlled by Rogue

Secretary of Artanian Education
Alex Herbert (Green Progressive)
Controlled by hungpallax

Secretary of Artanian Culture
Jacob Cox (Social Democrat)
Controlled by Rogue

Secretary of Artanian Cooperation
Arnold Wagenstein (Centrist)
Controlled by Rogue

Secretary of Artanian Economic Affairs
Dadabhvai Dheer (Green Progressive)
Controlled by hungpallax

Esteemed colleagues,

The ACU would like to propose a modification to the PAC's method of determining party seat share. The current system does not seem to quite match the representation that each party's domestic corollaries enjoy in their respective national legislatures. We propose the following method for tabulating seat shares:

1. Take each nation's population.
2. Calculate the percentage share of seats each domestic party has in its national legislature.
3. Multiply (1) and (2) to produce the population represented by each national party.
4. Sum all represented populations from step (3).
5. Divide each party's represented population (3) by the sum of all represented populations (4).
6. Multiply the resulting share (5) by the number of seats in PAC, 635. Round each party's seat share to the nearest integer. If the sum does not equal 635, round down the number closest to its floor or round up the number closest to its ceiling.
7. For ACON parties that represent multiple national parties, combine the results of (6).

Had this method been used to calculate the seat share in the 4910 election, this would have been the result:

And the resulting seat share, party by party, would have been:

GDAP - 284
ACU - 180
APP - 83
SCPP - 63
SDAC - 25

We look forward to hearing your feedback on this proposed change. We are of course open to suggestions.

"I have arrived here from the new government in Kundrati wishing to extend the information that the new Socialist Federal Republic of Kundrati will be joining the Artanian Community of Nations. The Kundrati Communist Party will be joining the Socialists and Democrats of the Artanian Community as its Artanian political group.

The Ascension of Kundrati to the ACON has been noted and the CPK support for the SDAC party registered. In the name of all current member states we welcome the Kundrati people to this community.

The ACEC has proposed a treaty, the treaty would if adopted be adopted for all ACON members. The treaty is named the "ACON-Lodamese Strategic Agreement on Partnership or ALSAP. The treaty goes as follows
