The Mirrorbound Council

On the 3rd of Feoveuer, a decisive trial deposed 3 acting members of Parliament, leaving the seats open. Lady Denholm and Mhairi led the push to allot those seats to Mirrorbound, to give them an opportunity to speak for themselves and cast their votes on issues pertaining to their people.

As the Mirrorbound population can vary, with people arriving and leaving all the time, the solution became obvious: instead of three people in three seats, a Council would be formed of Mirrorbound volunteers, and the seats would be given to the Council, with the intent to allow volunteers to rotate who sits in on which meetings and who speaks for the group based on expertise and strategy.

The Mirrorbound Council is given a central 'office' at Parliament for all to gather in and use to discuss motions and votes, and store any paperwork they may have. It's a medium sized room with a round table, several chairs, a couple of couches, and an enchanted door that will only unlock for Mirrorbound. They can also make a request for a page to bring snacks and drinks during any long internal sessions they may have.

Membership in the Council is open to all Mirrorbound. A public list will be below. To sign up, fill out the form and reply here.

These are player-led efforts! This means players involved should thread with each other to ICly come up with their ideas, goals, and motions, and when the whole or part of the Council wishes to propose a motion in Parliament, fill out the form below with who will be putting it forward, what they're doing to gather support, what they've done that could hurt the motion's chances, and any specifics about the motion. This is intended to be background/daily-life plot - the mod team will not be putting up posts for Parliament meetings or providing flavor text, only replying to submitted motions with how the vote would have gone.


Form

Characters Involved: The specific council members involved in bringing this idea forward. Each motion should have exactly 3 Mirrorbound names attached to it, as they'll be the ones 'in the seats' when it's proposed. Others can provide background support.
Proposal: What is your group putting to a vote in Parliament?
Help: What has your group done to gather support? Have they schmoozed with other politicians? Promised them votes on motions native members support?
Hindeance: Have any members of your trio done anything to hinder the support gathering? Talked crap about Aefenglom or the other Parliament members in public? Made a spectacle of themselves?




Some motions will not pass - the Mirrorbound have 3 seats out of many, and will need to ICly watch their public images and do the legwork to get native members on their side. Things will not always go the way characters want, but if a motion fails, they can try again another month. Failures will be more common at first, until the Council establishes itself better - politics is a game, after all. Also note that getting things brought to a vote is time-consuming: each character should only be proposing / sitting in for one motion per month, but can provide background support to other groups.
