The Great Empire of Ireland  votes yes

Federated Commonwealth of Notreland votes in favor Dammit, I thought I understood something incorrectly, thought membership was for council. I still, indeed, would very much like to give moral support.

Because who doesn't love moral support?

The votes period is over.

FAVOR: 4
ABSTAIN: 0
AGAINST: 0

The law is passed.

A lot of members are simply absent, and in the past we didn't count how much members voted or not. Some laws passed with six votes or five, so why not now?

Good, how the Constitution said. According to the 5° Article of the Constitution of the World Alliance, the following laws:

• WA Standardized Time Zone Act
  
  WA Calendar Act
  
  Revised Judicial Protocol Act
  
  Election Regulation Act
  
  Newellia Peace Act
  
  WA Police Force Reform Act

are hereby declared VOID by the Speaker of the Parliament.

What? What on earth are you talking about? Only the court can declare laws void. Take this to the COJ if you have legitement constitutional concerns.

Eurasia, I told with him. Actually it was a provokation, not a formal act.

But, anyway, since you're here: I believe that he was right. I personally checked, and many laws were approved simply with the majority of the voters. Moreover, the same Article V doesn't provide for any kind of rule for voting.

As President of the Council, I wish to ask you for an opinion about this issue.

You can not possibly expect ALL 20 members of Parliament to vote can you.

Yes, but running for the Parliament is their choice thus it is expected that political parties will advance their beliefs and interests through voting. Furthermore, the question of voiding these laws is in the hands of the Court now.

On the other hand, let us be reminded that even though we can't expect all 20 members of Parliament to vote, it is the problem of their Parties. And for that sense, we cannot expect a law to pass without the majority of those 20 members of Parliament.

How can you justify the passing of the previous laws that did not abide by the constitutional law?

It is not Eurussia that must answer that.

Well it is you that happened to notify us of this law's attempted passage, but why did you cease to notify us beforehand. Is it because this is a law that you simply don't want passed?
