[box][size=120][b]Greetings [region]Thaecia[/region], how are you all doing? What? You don't know me? 
Well, I'm [colour=#941212][nation]Clarance[/nation][/colour] and I recently joined this great region. 

Someone could say that I do not particularly belong here, or that I am unfit for running in a public election so early... but here I am, standing still and proud to publicly announce my intention to [colour=#941212]run for a seat in the House of Commons in the upcoming General Election[/colour]. As I stated before, many of you do not know me, so I am happy to leave here few things about me you may (or not ahaha) be interested in:
[list][*]I am an undergraduate student of Global Humanities (aka History and Literature);
[*]My favourite colour is [colour=green]green[/colour]
[*] I am Italian [colour=green]<3[/colour][colour=#C2C2C2]<3[/colour][colour=red]<3[/colour][/list]

If you are interested in my campaign or just would like to talk with me, feel free to send me a telegram here on NationStates or write a DM to my Discord account (Clarance#1813)[/size];

[background-block=#FFDE59]DISCLAIMER![/background-block]
[size=90]I usually check both profiles with constance, but, as I live in Europe, remember that I may be asleep in the middle of the night while you are having lunch XD[/size][/b][/box]

[box][b][size=120] One question you may ask is: "Clarance, why should I vote for you?"; well here you have some important features which may interest you:[/size]
[list][*][size=120]I am [colour=#941212]NEW[/colour]: I would like to deeply engage in a beneficial and favourable reenactment of our region's institutions and policies, still maintaining a fresh perspective. I also think to retain sufficient knowledge about our regional laws: I studied Thaecia's Constitution and I passed several hours scrolling official documents and deliberations in our regional Library of Congress[/size];
[*][size=120]I am [colour=#941212]PROFOUNDLY ACTIVE[/colour][/size]:[size=120] I am usually available both on NationStates and Discord, even if, as I said before, I will be more active during European daytime (CET) so you will be more able to find me between the morning and mid-afternoon in EST  (7 AM - 7 PM). I will be delighted to listen to everybody's ideas and proposals and I am really open for debate[/size];
[*][size=120]I am currently serving as Ambassador for our [colour=#941212]MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS[/colour], representing our region in [region]Wintercrest[/region] and I also cover the position of [colour=#941212]PUBLIC ATTORNEY[/colour] for the Thaecian Bar Association.  I consider myself to retain good social capabilities and satisfactory experience in diplomacy[/size].[/list]

[size=120]Furthermore, I formally state that I will run this campaign as a an official candidate of the [colour=red][i][u]New Thaecia Now[/u][/i][/colour]'s party (the program of the party will be available at the end of this manifesto). To get more information follow the official profiles of the party on both NS and Discord (both provided at the end of this manifesto).[/size][/b][/box]

[box][background-block=#FFDE59][align=center][b][colour=#941212][size=200] PROPOSALS[/size][/b][/colour][/align][/background-block][/box]

[box][b][size=120][table][tr][td] Clarance's proposals and beliefs[/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][colour=#941212]Radical Reduction of Congress (I sustain the [i]CRA[/i])[/colour]:
It appears evident that both chambers of our congress need a fundamental reduction of legislators; by reducing the number of members of the House to 11 and senators to 7 we could effectively revitalise our political elections, making them more competitive and interesting;[/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td][colour=#941212]Outlaw military operations during elections ([i]amend L.R.040[/i])[/colour]:
Everybody should be able to be represented and have the possibility of representing their sustainers in a democratic system: by discouraging people to participate in military operations during election periods we enhance democracy and strengthen its foundations by granting everybody the opportunity to vote and run in any sort of election;[/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td][colour=#941212]Strengthening of the Separation of Powers in regional politics (amend L.R.004)[/colour]:
I am a firm advocate of the separation of powers' principle and, in my opinion, both members of the House and Senators should be completely prevented from occupying any sort of executive post; for this reason I propose to amend the [i]Position Restrictions Act[/i], by impeding congressmen from filling the post of deputy ministers (or at least preventing Congresspersons which cover an executive role from voting in favour of bills related to the executive). I furthermore propose to make compulsory the appointment of deputies by Ministers once they have been chosen by the Prime Minister and before the congressional confirmation; by doing this deputies will have the power of fully cover an interim position if required to do so. For me, the core issues for further strengthening democratic governance are to be found with reinforcing checks and balances on power: more effective legislative and judicial branches and increased transparency and accountability. In my opinion, the focus of a good and healthy democracy should not reside in the executive, but, on the other hand, in enhanced capacities and operations of both the legislative and judicial branches of power.
 [/td][td]3[/td][/tr]
[tr][td][colour=#941212]Reformation of the Justice System[/colour]:
First of all, Justices should have a term (ideally between 4 and 6 months), while also be held accountable by the legislature with a vote of confirmation and, if re-appointed, reconfirmation. I am in favour of the transfer of the ability of appointing justices from the Prime Minister to the President, even if I would like to completely redesign the judicial branch of government's appointment process, always following the principle of separation of powers and reinforcing the independence of our judicial system;[/td][td]4[/td][/tr]
[tr][td][colour=#941212]Creation of a new educational program for newcomers[/colour];
As a newcomer myself, I think Thacia should have a dedicated program for the supervision and education of newcomers in the realms of our regional politics: I herby suggest the establishment of a devoted series of dispatches and factbooks which could be organised under the supervision of the Home Affairs Ministry and with the involvement of other ministries as well.[/td][td]5[/td][/tr]
[/table]

This is a rather short list of cursory points, but I promise I will initiate and propose also other types of bills, sustaining the political flourishing life of our region[/size][/b][/box]
