Proposal: Neutrality
Passes 8-0 with 2 unresolved DEFs. Scshunt should gain 2 credibility, but he has 200, so nothing happens. Next, since the Speaker has cast a DEF, all votes of DEF are not considered valid. Thus, Clucky, Cpt_Koen, IceFromHell, Kevan, Klisz, Murphy, quirck, scshunt, thingnumber2 all haven’t cast a valid vote, and lose one credibility. — Quirck

Enact a new rule entitled “The Chair”, reading as follows:
Votes, other than VETO, cast by the Speaker on a Proposal are not Valid unless every other Honourable Member has voted on that Proposal or that Proposal has been pending for more than 48 hours.
If the Credibility of the Speaker is ever 0, then the Speaker must post a Resignation. A Resignation is a Votable matter and is voted on, resolved, and causes Hiatus as if it were a Declaration of Victory. If the Resignation is Enacted, then all Dynastic Rules are repealed and a new metadynasty begins.
If there is a rule entitled “Parties”, amend it by replacing “Each Honourable Member may belong to a Party” with “Each Honourable Member, other than the Speaker, may belong to a Party”
It has long been the tradition that the Speaker does not vote except to break a tie, but I’d like to preserve the veto. And the Speaker is never a member of a party. I don’t expect the resignation to come into play, but I hope that it will influence members not to discredit the chair too much.
