Mr Speaker, "I move that this House condemn the current Emergency Powers procedures as unworkable and calls for them to be either reformed or abolished." |

To activate the emergency powers, you need a 2/3 majority in the house. If you're going to get a 2/3 majority in the house, then you don't need emergency powers anyway. They're pointless. I'll be coming up with a constitutional ammendment over the next few weeks, but I want to make sure that there's support for reform first. |

I believe first a major rethink is required as to the purpose of Emergency powers. |

To prevent petty politics allowing the country to collapse into anarchy (ie. the fall of Sheepling's first government). EDIT: also, to provide a quick response to a crisis without having to waste time in parliament. |

Said petty politics stop any democratic emergency powers measure from having any hope of succedding if it were to be needed in such a case. |

I think I've come up with a way of allowing emergency powers to work while at the same time making sure that governments can't turn into dictatorships. I just need to work out a few details... |

The question is as in the motion. As many who are of that opinion say aye, Aye! To the contrary no, No! Division! |

Aye, CCO is right ![]() If you have that much support then that would render these powers pretty much unneeded |
