As current Vice Delegate and as someone who's dealt extensively with representative work for the college where I serve as an instructor, I have to agree that the process of getting things done can often take considerably longer than people might like and that there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes as well as upstairs in the heads of those who are in positions of authority or are even in positions of reporting to authority, as I and my colleagues were in when serving on Faculty Senate for three years. In those three years, sometimes even I felt that procedures and discussions moved slowly, but I knew and trusted that circumstances would be resolved, and, indeed, they were in the long run.
While I do understand the frustrations being expressed regarding various ministerial representatives, do remember that there are methods of communication with both your Delegate and Vice Delegate. Submit to either or both of us your ideas and concerns through polite Telegrams in NationStates, Direct Messages in Discord, or Private Messages on this very forum. Going from a state of feeling supported and accepted to seeing calls for resignation without seemingly prior warning leaves representatives feeling confused and peers feeling divided.
Lazarus does not need division. At this point, yes, Lazarus does need ministers who can serve the people on behalf of the government; to that, I will agree. Imki, I, and the Court Representatives cannot do things alone. Communicate with us, giving insight into what can be done or can be suggested, and work with us to create the best possible Lazarus that there can be.
In short, I oppose the concept of removing Imki from the office of Delegate at this time, and I encourage all in the region to keep communication channels open and positive with Imki and me in both the near and extended futures.

EDIT TO ADD: I am currently online, as the green dot to the left signifies. Though I am grading discussion boards and journal postings at this time, I will gladly leave this window up so that I can view further communications and posts on here.
