(Consultations) Emergency Legislation/No Debating Period Bills

Atletius wrote:As you are all well aware, the current legislative system calls for a debating period before a voting period. This works well for most situations, however there are cases this should not have to happen. For example in cases of Regional Danger (OOC ie zombies thing) and conflict, for example the Regornia Crisis, were a decisive international action is needed as quickly as possible.

Atletius proposes there be a system out in place to allow some pieces of legislation to go straight to vote, rather than waste time debating.

If there is support for this idea we will draft a bill for it.

Well doing so will be a violation of Constitution, but to evade that, since the Council forms part from the Parliament which can always be dissolved via no confidence vote from Parliament, and since no one can determine which is emergency or not, 

Any member state of Parliament (Council as well) can seek for an emergency action from the WA Council, provided that such emergency act is UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED by the entire WA Council and has no existing international law to base upon citing emergency.

And to avoid abuse of power, if ever so, the WA Court of Justice will have the power to VETO that emergency act via UNANIMOUS VOTE from the court members.

What do you think?

I do believe that what you are proposing has a serious flaw. If a bill against a certain nation, such as a global embargo, were proposed, and that certain nation is in the council, then he could vote against and buy himself time, even if the rest of the WA wants to embargo that nation.
