Proposal: Coalescence

Reaches quorum 10-0 and is enacted. -scshunt

Append to the rule “Parties” the text “The other members of an Honourable Member’s Party may be referred to as the Honourable Member’s Peers.”

In the rule “Parties”, modify the text “this is tracked as a word in the GNDT in the column “Party”, or “-” if the Honorable Member belongs to no Party” so that it reads “this is tracked as a word in the GNDT in the column “Party”, or as “-” if the Honorable Member belongs to no Party”.

Enact a sub-rule of “Parties” entitled “Party Consensus”:

If an Honourable Member belonging to a Party submits a Proposal, and if that Proposal has EVCs from the author’s Peers, and if at least half (rounded up) of those Peer EVCs are FOR, then the vote of DIFFERENTIAL is considered to be a vote of FOR, regardless of the vote of the Speaker. Inversely, if at least half (rounded up) of those Peer EVCs are Against, then the vote of DIFFERENTIAL is considered to be a vote of AGAINST, regardless of the vote of the Speaker. For a Party in power, these effects hold for any Proposal, even if the author is not a member of the Party.

Hopefully fixing some ambiguity about Party column titles and starting some party mechanics, which are pretty powerful.

Actually, converse might not be correct. It’s late here.
