Azerzia for Speaker 2: Electric Boogaloo

[Administrator]

To reuse some stuff from last election:
To start out with, I would like to thank the region for giving me the chance to run again, particularly Cemaes for nominating me and his kind words. I would like to again thank Michutopia for nominating me for my first term, and I wish both Michutopia and Cemaes luck in their future endeavors in the region. My qualifications are fairly extensive and are as follows:

• Only writer of the Constitution still reguarly active
  
• Sole writer of multiple Amendments to the Constitution (First Amendment, 2nd-5th Amendment)
  
• Editor/formatter or co-author of the rest of the Amendments (6th Amendment, 7th Amendment)
  
• Writer of the MECA
  
• Writer of other bills which are either at vote or were outdated by legislation that has been passed
  
• Administrator of the current forum, along with its most active poster
  
• One term as the Minister of Communications
  
• One term as the Minister of Domestic Affairs
  
• Currently serving as the first Speaker of the Union
  
• Was in the SLU at the time Ainland was active and was the only member of the old forum to achieve 500 posts
  

In explain in clear language what all of that means:
The majority of the laws and rules of the SLU I wrote. I know the Constitution and all relevant legislation inside and out. The role of the Speaker is to act as the formatter of all bills in the SLU and to be the position to oversee votes on bills, which I have done in the past by formatting and writing so much legislation.

The Speaker is to act in place of our Founder, who I had direct contact with in my time in the SLU. I am familiar and friendly with the members of the current administration and many of the other members of the SLU, so I can work with them.

I have carried out in my first term the responsibilities of Founder. Legislatively it has been quiet but I have encouraged changes and, as the administrator of the forum, have helped discussions and organization.

As for my policies:

• I intend to expand our regional influence by encouraging embassy formation, in particular with the LI
  
• I intend to carefully change our system of government to the needs of the nations of the SLU, whatever that need may be, such as clarifying length of votes and Mentorship reorganization.
  
• I will use my power of veto if legislation corrupts the social liberal/socialist beliefs of the SLU (aka limiting or removing the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution)
  
• Any other legislation, no matter my vote in parliament, will be allowed to pass
  
• I will continue in my ongoing procedure of editing legislation and formatting it so that it is up to scratch and will do so without complaint.
  
• I will help in the process of judicial hearings for nations which break the rules of the region and take a lead in such matters if the Delegate wishes for me to do so. This could be done by changing it so the Founder/Speaker is the nation which decides in non-administration member state proceedings in which the Founder/Speaker is not otherwise involved

Any questions at all anyone?
And my opinion has changed on the LI issue, since I do not feel they are acting in an appropriate manner. The crisis in the LI over defending is not appropriate. Antarctic Alliance was in its rights to act as a defender and should not have been suspended. I instead support a left/moderate democratic alliance, which may include both DSAs, the SLU and the IDU

Other than Speaker, what is your ideal position within the region? I've asked this to Cemaes as well, to be fair.

I wouldn't mind being in charge of Defense/Judicial, like Goncar is now. What I have done so far in the region is create the rules and laws. Defending those is something I think I could handle well. I would not want Domestic Affairs since the job is more about role-play and activities than I am personally so I think the current team working on that (NAR, Michutopia, et al) is doing a fantastic job.
A job that I may run for in the future is WA Delegate since that position directs regional policy and is the face of the region. Since I have worked behind the scenes so far, I think that could be a nice change of pace.
