Year 13: Delegating Authority to the House of Commons

[Greene]

“Since our Kingdom was founded generations ago, the power to decide the fate of our nation has rested solely with my family: with the crown. Over the past several years I have done all I could to responsibly drive us towards a more democratic way of governance. I am happy that I have found a partner in Minister Halmund, who shares my ideals for democratic reforms. My father and my grandfather both wished to introduce many of the reforms that I have succeeded in bringing to our nation. They failed, not because Resvernans did not want them, but because finding the right people to shepherd these changes, to do so without personal interest, without greed, proved impossible.

 

“What my father, what my grandfather, found impossible to do, together we have done, as a nation, as a Kingdom, as a people. I am happy to announce that I am delegating authority to the House of Commons to pass and manage laws benefiting the nation. Four years after I tasked my Year 9 commission with digitalizing all of our laws, the House of Commons can now earnestly, and effectively begin repealing the outdated, ineffective, and problematic laws from our system, and pass new laws that better reflect our ideals, and where we are as a nation.

 

“I will still retain my powers to veto any laws that I feel do not serve the Kingdom, and I will also retain my authority to pass new laws. I promise to only use these powers when there is not time to work with the House of Commons, such as in emergency situations, or when the House of Commons seeks to infringe upon the authority and liberties of all Resvernans.

 

“We stand at the precipice of a new dawn, a new day, and a bright future.â€
