Provincial Constitutions Unshackled

by Roibeard Cresti Laira

The provincial boards on Witt have been abuzz ever since the ratification in the last election of the provincial unshackling amendment to the Talossan organic law. The amendment repealed several requirements imposed on the structure of provincial governments allowing the citizens of each province to decide for themselves.

The province of Cézembre has called a constitutional convention that convened on Groundhog Day, and is scheduled to complete its business by the Ides of March. And it's well that they have since there is currently confusion in their parliament as to the exact procedure for commencing the vote for their premiership.

In the province of Florencia, a landslide victory for the RUMP party led to the election of Lord Hooligan as governor by a quorum of himself. After his inauguration he appointed a constitutional commission to study the Florencian constitution and recommend changes.

In Maricopa, Sir Cresti Siervicul is drafting a draft constitution for discussion, while there was even more procedural confusion as Xhorxh Asmour called for nominations for the premiership according to article XVII.9d of the organic law, which was repealed by the unshackling amendment.

Maritiimi-Maxhestic and Mussolini are furthest along in defining their new constitutions. M-M assigns the lions share of power to their legislative branch. The shocker from Mussolini is a proposed name change for the province to "Benito" to honor Talossa's founder, Little Ben. It remains tobe seen if renaming a province will require approval at the national level as well.

Vuode seems to have taken the most authentic route to a new constitution when John McGarry, their Cunstaval and acting military governor, delegated power to call the convention to the general assembly who promptly elected Sir Trotxa Betingeir Premier of their constitutional convention.

Ataturk seems to be the only province without an active constitutional convention or commission. All eyes will be on the Ataturk board as the political life of Talossa heats up.
