A better standard for a better House of Commons.

My proposals and personal policy for what I will do if honoured by being elected to the House of Commons.

Over the past few months we have seen the House of Commons lose a lot of what made it so important: the air of professionalism, seriousness, and prestige in the work that is completed there. If elected MP I would help set a new standard for Members of Parliament, participating in debates and votes on the floor with respect and courtesy to my other MPs, as well as acting in a proper manner befitting an elected official. This will help set a new normal and return prestige to the chamber.

Another issue we've sadly had to deal with over the past few months is the flagrant wasting of time in the House. MPs often go entirely off topic and lose focus on the bill, amendment or vote at hand, effectively ruining time that would otherwise be incredibly valuable for legislation to be discussed. If elected, I would also pledge to refrain from adding useless or otherwise non-effectual amendments to bills, as we've seen over time. All it does is waste time.

Finally on my list of ways to rework the House is reducing the size of the chamber to 13 members. While the congressional expansion was well-intentioned, it couldn't have come at a worse time, with Thaecian population falling and with it the caliber of our candidates, leaving us with inactive, inexperienced, and ineffectual MPs. Unfortunately, there is no procedure yet laid out for this process, so first I would amend the constitution to add a process for reducing the sizes of both chambers of congress.

The House is a chamber which has lost a lot of it's power in the bicameral system due to slow leadership transitions, frequent speakership changes, and ineffectual terms once those speakers are instated. I intend to run for Speaker and put a strong, experienced, voice in charge for the time being. Should a strong candidate with similar qualifications emerge, I will gladly bow out of the race and fall upon an advisor role.

Many of the existing laws in the region are written poorly, informally, or otherwise ineffectually. While I don't have any flagship campaign proposals, I can promise you that if elected, you will see quite a few reworks and amendments to already exsiting bills, such as the Legal Code, one of the chief offenders of vagueness and informality. The only additional campaign proposal I have is requiring conflict of interest forms to be filed by all candidates for election, an example of which can be found below.

The people who elect me have the right to know why I make the decisions I do in the house. It's a simple promise to make, but one that we unfortunately need. I promise I will let everyone know why I make the votes and points I do, why I make the calls I do, and everything along those lines. No frills, no nonsense, just my feelings and the facts.

One thing we've seen a fair bit of already this term is a discombobulated house without a clear agenda or direction it looks to be going in. If elected MP, I will work with the speaker to set a course for the house and lay out our priorities clearly and simply, so that everyone is aware of what the house is doing and what our end goal is. After all, we accomplish a lot more together.

Another awfully simple promise to make, but I won't make any decisions without first considering the impact on my constituents and on the region as a whole. And even then, I am always open on persuasion as to what's best for the region, because ultimately, I'm not the only one here, all of you have important voices and things to be said too.

I am firmly against the establishment of a region military, due to the stress it would put on our delegate's endorsements, the potential for foreign affairs incidents, and the overall uneasy feeling I have about the idea. While I am not opposed to a community run militia, I believe a government run program will end poorly. Therefore I will be voting against such a bill if it reaches the floor of the House.

Any and all puppets or investments I currently have in foreign regions, displayed for your perusal.

A few words to close out my manifesto.

So, we're at the end of my campaign! Hope it was a good read, hope it helped you decide to vote for me! Ultimately, I'm not going to make any big promises, because we both know I won't keep them. What I will do is tell you what I think. I think I've proven myself. I think I'd be good as an MP. And I think a vote for me is a worthwhile vote. I just hope you share my thoughts. In the end of the day, though, I love you all, Thaecia!
