1. Which House Bills do you plan to pass and/or repeal? Why?
None at the moment.
2. In what ways should the Constitution be amended, if at all? Explain how the changes would improve the current system of governance.
I do not have any current plans to amend the Constitution.
3. What qualifies you to serve in the House? What makes this qualifying?
I am an incumbent House Rep and have served as a House Rep a few times before, as well as having been MoIA, MoComm, and Prime Minister during my time in the Union. These statements makes me a qualified individual as I have the experience and know-how of serving my constituents and their interests.
4. Do you think any changes should be made to existing House Procedures? If so, what changes should be made and why?
I still firmly believe House procedures (debates, conversations, etc.) should remain exclusively in-text to be as accessible as possible.
5. If elected, do you plan on running for Speaker? If so, what makes you a good candidate for this position and if not, who do you think would be a better candidate?
I do not plan to run for Speaker and do not currently endorse any other Speaker candidates.
6. How do you plan to ensure the voices of your constituents are heard while in office?
CAD is a smaller tight-knit community compared to the other regions in the Union, and their concerns are certainly my concerns as well, since many of them aren't just my constituents but also my friends.
7. How do you feel about the influence parties have on the House and electoral process, and should it be more or less? Explain your answer fully.
I think the influence of parties in the House and electoral processes needs to be greatly decreased. I think we should vote for people, not parties.
8. The House of Representatives is the sole legal body with the ability to remove a Prime Minister from office. Under what circumstances would you support the removal of one and what constitutes 'going too far'? Cite specific legal passages if necessary and ensure that your answer is sufficiently detailed.
What constitutes "going too far"? Most things that would harm the Union's reputation and constituents. A Prime Minister should be removed not out of a display of partisan or political power, and should only be removed if, of course, they commit a crime, commit a deeply unpopular action, or harm the Union or its people.
None at the moment.
