Assembly Procedure Act Amendment (February 2020)

temmi;8482 Wrote:Reading this further...isn't this contradicting itself already?

"Section 2. Legislative Procedures

(2) In order for a proposal to be brought to vote, a citizen eligible to vote on that proposal must make a motion to vote, and another such citizen must second the motion. A motion to vote may only be made by the initial author of a proposal..."

In the first sentence it tells us that any citizen eligible to vote can make the motion to vote, but then immediately says no, only the initial author can? i can be eligible to vote, making me able to motion it to vote, without being the author! It seems a little confusing to begin with O.O! like the reason i said before, i think it would make sense to allow any eligible citizen to motion to vote, especially in circumstances where the author for whatever reason stops posting in the thread making it a stand-still...

It's not as clear as it could be, but it's not a contradiction either. As it stands, it sets out three conditions a person must meet in order to bring the proposal to vote:

1. they must be a citizen,
2. they must be eligible to vote on the proposal (which a citizen might not be if they've been convicted of a crime or barred from voting by the security apparatus),
3. they must have authored the proposal.

None of which contradict each other.
