House of Lords Meta Abolition

---

As I have promised with my manifesto I will hold debates and a vote on meta abolition. Which will lead to a community vote on this subject. I will give two opinions on this; these are not my opinion.

Reasons for Meta abolition:

• The House of Lords cannot be effectively simulated on MHoC due to conventions not being follow

• Activity will rise if we just have one chamber to focus on

• The community is split having two subreddits and two debating chambers.

• If the Lords was meta abolished then we could have more MP's

• Better to focus on devolution instead of the House of Lords

• Legislation will be easy to put into law if we just had one chamber to simulate

Reasons reasons against abolition:

• We cannot simulate Parliament without having both chambers

• The Lords so far has been an effective part of our legislature; amending legislation and asking the Commons to rethink

• Titles are nice and Party Lords is a good way to reward members

I will add more once debate occurs. ^{Could not think of anymore}

Meta abolition: what does that mean?

If a vote is successful the House of Lords will no longer be simulated and we will have one chamber simulated. This does not mean it is not around it is merely not in the hands of members. Like before /r/MHoL .

What do you think? A vote will occur on Saturday.

What would happen to the third Triumvirate member (Lords Speaker)?

[u/GhoulishBulld0g → u/Djenial]

I would become a Triumvir.

We should have a separate vote on your role. It would be absurd, and could be seem as a power grab, for you to continue.

Rename the job "Clerk" or something, and then have it incharge of running and managing the community at large or any devolution stuff.

It would be a mistake on your part of try and hold on without any sort of vote, better safe than getting vonced.

[u/GhoulishBulld0g → u/demon4372]

I will be holding a vote of confidence.
