OPEN FORUM

The only place for inter-party talks or the independents.

As the Secretary General, allow me to guide on the next step after the Elections. 

1) CAUCUS LIST 

Party leaders must submit (post here) the official Caucus List of the member states of your Party that will take up the seats your Party won on the elections. If you have more seats than your members, you have to decide whether to give that seats to other nations (probably giving it up to other Parties) or that seat will remain vacant for the rest of the entire term. If you decide to give it to other nations, technically, if that nation is a member of his own Party, that receiving Party will have an increase in seats in Parliament. So you have to be clear if your free seats will become a "coalition seat with other Party" or give it up (as some says that you are friends with other nations in other Parties, but hey, this is politics!) or just make that seat vacant to maintain the status quo or your "numbers" in Parliament which is crucial for voting numbers and electing the WA Council. Your Caucus List is crucial as once the Parliament is in "session," that is your permanent composition throughout the next three months in power!

2) SPEAKERSHIP

Well, once the Secretary General (Eurussia) opens the Session of Parliament, I will administer the election of the Speaker. And what the hell he will be doing? He will lead the entire Parliament and regularly talk to the Leaders of each Party for a smooth running in Parliament. He is also next in line to the President of the Council. Frankly, Party Leaders must talk to other Parties for compromise but if you don't want to, well then, make sure you have the most voting numbers against other Parties so that your bet within your Party could take the Speakership! He will be the one making rules for the Parliament to be organized, he will make sure if every proposals (he also creates the threads and not me anymore!) follows the three day rule and so on and so forth! But there is no reason, for now, how to remove him! So we'll just deal with it later! LOL

3) WA COUNCIL

So we have now a Speaker? Now we focus on electing the powerful executive branch! The Council! The Constitution simply says it is composed of seven nations including its President, literally the President of the World Alliance! The Council will have all the powers of the previous Security Council such as interventions, commendation, condemnation, all executive powers! They could also make themselves Minister of this and Minister of that! Secretary of this or Secretary of that! The Council's power is limitless as the Constitution simply says it can exercise all executive powers! And the Council make sure all regional (international) laws are properly enforced and observed in all OOC, RP and so on and so forth. But most importantly, the Council will remain in power for as long as the Parliament is confident with it and no parliament member state proposes a vote of no confidence which if supported by majority, the Council must be dissolved!

The problem is, how are we going to elect the seven nations in the Council and how do we choose the President? When all Parties are struggling to fight each other to control power in the region? (there's nothing wrong with this, this is politics! remember?) But if all wanted for the good of the region, we will have no problem with this. I hope so, LOL. I will leave this problem to the future SPEAKER!

4) THREE "BRANCHES" OF GOVERNMENT FILLED!

At last, if we come to this point, we were very successful in crafting a Constitution! Because we were able to perfectly establish the democratic institutions we all wanted after the Security Council and Court setup for the last eight months or so. Well, once the Court if fully filled, the Parliament is in session, and the Council is perfectly in place, the business of government can now fully function to give the World Alliance a good, better, and brighter future for all of us residents of our great region!

THE END!

What are the coalitions as of this point?

[Antarctika]

Also about the post about us joining a coalition with WASDP:
The Iron Party would be happy to join in a coalition.

There is no coalition so far. But I suggest that you discuss this possibility with New Zealand as he is the Leader of the WA Democratic Socialist Party. Thank you!

[Israeli Free State]

The Conservative Party and the Fascist Party are talking about forming a coalition.

The reason why giving away seats is now prohibited, as explained, is that if more and more nations run as independent and gained seats, that could corrupt the system where independents will just be giving away seats at their will defeating the purpose specified in the Constitution that when a nation gains enough votes, they are simply entitled to a seat.

Now with regards to political parties, the same rule applies to ensure that a party can exercise all their rights with all the seats they have gained which is now fixed from the very beginning. They will now have the freedom to whomever they wish to allocate their seats throughout the term to adopt to the changes in the party whenever needed during their term of office.

In short, if you are an independent, you are only entitled to only one seat forever. But if you have your own party, you can enjoy as many seats as entitled to your party based on the votes and points your party gained!

This is all in contrary to the previous rule where a party can never change the nations appointed to a seat thus this rule is now obsolete. Thank you.

Is there a particular procedure to be an independent candidate?

How are votes counted. Are primary and secondary votes given same importance as in value.

Okay. But regardless, I advice that there must still be a thread since there are lots of links from the regional page and in different threads on the Forums for CDIP.
