Va Birodeo Herzenav e Edlervik,

 

          Under the Lord Speaker Sir Konrad Stafyr, the august body of the Royal Duma saw fit to decree the establishment of ‘benches’ within the chamber. These literal and figurative seats are where lords and representatives choose to sit alongside like-minded men and women who share similar political philosophies. 

 

          At the beginning of the Benches tenure, they were far from political divisors - they were simply ideologies, formally integrated into the chamber so the Duma could be more effective via harmonious individuals working together. 

 

          However, as we examine the efficiency and effectiveness of the chamber under this system today, we find that the Benches no longer yield the same results as they have prior. When one chooses to define themself as “feudalist” or “centralist”, they find themselves at odds with their counterpart due to the divisions that have formed and the sense of tribalism present. We must always be reminded that the Haeseni system does not condone the establishment of political parties. 

 

          Therefore, the Royal Herzen decrees the following,

 

     I.   The “Benches” featured in the Royal Duma will henceforth be dissolved.

 

           A.      The Feudalist bench will no longer be represented within the august body,

 

           B.      The Centralist bench will no longer be represented within the august body,

 

           C.      The Crossbench will no longer be represented within the august body.

 

     II.   No ideologies may be formally represented within the Royal Duma.
