Budget/Tax Proposals and Government in Sekowo

Postby matt_Sekowo » Mon Dec 21, 2015 2:37 pm

Hi,

In Sekowo, somehow a party that does not control the finance ministry managed to propose taxation and budget bills. If this is not a bug, is it not in fact a rule that you have to be the minister of finance in order to propose a budget?

Also (and maybe this is related) this made me check on the government. And then I saw that for some reason our cabinet proposal didn't pass, even though it got 700/700 votes.

Now, I notice that the Sekowo Militarianism party abstained - they are a new party (and don't seem to be very active, not sure if they will stick), but to include them I gave them a ministry or two. Is the fact that they abstained why it didn't pass? I had assumed when everyone with votes voted for it that it would pass, and hadn't noticed that it didn't pass in the system until now. And does that have anything to do with how the National Conservative Party managed to propose budget and taxation bill?

Thanks

The game mechanics allow any party to propose a budget bill. This has been the case for as long as I can remember. In some nations, players follow a general convention that only the party controlling the Minister of Finance should propose budget bills. In other nations, players are happy for any party to propose a budget.

Cabinet bills will not pass unless all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet vote in favour.
