I haven’t been as active in the Great Council recently as I would liked to have been, however, I do believe that ProfessorHenn’s amendment to the Charter eliminated regular Chair elections. Now of course, in the case of a resignation, a loss of status, or any other thing that would remove the Chair from office, an election would occur.
Usually, in real life, I actually do support a larger government system but then again we’re in a online political simulator. I know that the Chair can appoint as many deputies as they please, but I don’t think that the Clerk of the Assembly is needed. If I remember correctly, I was told that the Clerk was originally established under Cryo as an administrator and publisher of some Assembly journal which to my knowledge is now defunct.
So why do we even need this special position called a “clerk” after all? Why should it be given these special powers ever since when it’s been more of a name and less than an actual political office?
