Quote:Resolution R-35, introduced by Masdobo
Encouragement of Civic Engagement Resolution
WHEREAS, the Social Liberal Union operates an out-of-character government that is responsible for the enforcement of the laws passed by the will of the membership through the Open Parliament; and
WHEREAS, participation in this government is essential to our regional security and growth; and
WHEREAS, several candidates have recently run unopposed and deadlines are continuously extended for government positions; and
WHEREAS, several government offices remain unfilled due to the lack of civic engagement from Social Liberal Union membership; and
WHEREAS, the government of the Social Liberal Union is now only being held together by a few dedicated individuals who, despite appearances, cannot be expected to maintain the Union themselves forever;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Open Parliament of the Social Liberal Union recognizes the need for civic engagement by its members; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Open Parliament of the Social Liberal Union hereby calls on member states to reach out to ministers for information on open positions and to take on their constitutionally granted role as de jure legislators.
