Domais;10954 Wrote:McChimp;10953 Wrote:I don't have a personal grudge against Domais but I do resent his recent efforts to adjust other people's English, especially since the adjustments he proposed weren't justified and numerous laws he has proposed in the past have passed with grammatical errors that he chose not to correct. I think that given his activity here there is a reasonable chance that Domais will be Speaker one day and I will not support a future in which he-or anybody else-will have the authority to make such changes unilaterally.But if the Speaker attempts to make a change to a law and they themselves make an error then the assembly can voice their objects in their thread. Surely, the Speaker would listen to the assembly because if they don't then the assenbly can just overide their actions as well as remove them from office. I really don't see the point of amending every law that mentions "Minister" instead of "Cabinet minister" when we could just appoint someone to do that. Or amending a law to fix some numbering error that happened because no-one noticed it during an amendment.
Edit: I guess during the voting period one could withdraw the motion.
Having to continually challenge and threaten to recall the Speaker in order to leave peoples' adequate laws untampered with is not worth whatever small percieved benefit in presentability would be gained. If a change is worth making it should be pointed out before the proposal in question has passed or, if it's already too late for that, by amending it.
