I assert that the new government has abused its powers and usurped additional powers, not for the good of Aytos but for personal gain.

The facts:

• Dr Oracle's land management act has been the governing document for the Aytos City Planning Ministry since April 2014.

• While city planner, chiefjames ignored its procedures and mistakenly and illegally sold city central plots to Monkeywithanaxe and T-1902-T without using an auction to allow other Aytians equal access to these commercially valuable sites.

• When informed of this error, 10footbargepoll and T-1902-T did not attempt to reverse the transaction. Instead, they rushed a bill through parliament to retroactively make the sale final and to make themselves immune from any penalties for keeping the illegally acquired plots.

• To pass the bill as quickly as possible, monkey and T illegally denied the third parliament member Dr_Oracle his right to view, comment and debate the merits of the bill before holding the vote.

The present government is a one-party state. That would be just fine, if it played by the rules. But instead, it is ignoring all the checks and balances of our system. Courts should decide who has violated a law, not "retroactive immunity laws" passed by the people who violated the law in the first place! If this were allowed to stand it would allow whoever is in power to be untouchable; they could commit any crime without consequences. That can't be allowed in a free country, and this is exactly why our lawmakers are not allowed to usurp power from the courts (that is, not in our current system which Monkey is about to abolish).

Undoing checks and balances like that is usually a bad idea. Monkey's new plan calls for abolishing the no-con petition? And for having a parliament that runs its own elections and decides how often it should run, with nothing set in stone (since apparently parliament can change election terms to whatever it likes, retroactively)? That's usually a bad idea, but I guess if you really trust the people in power to do the right thing, you could get by with consolidating government power that way.

A week ago, I trusted those in power to do the right thing. I grudgingly trusted them to revoke all our laws, and even remove all legal force from our customs and traditions, and that we would still be safe as citizens from abuse of that power. Today, I cannot. It's only been a week, they don't even have any of these new legal powers yet, but already they have turned the powers they do have into a tool for lining their pockets at public expense.

A severe restructuring of our system is probably a great idea. I just cannot trust this particular one-party regime with the power to decree what our new system will be. Monkey and his stooge T should be one voice in a chorus; they should not have a 2/3 supermajority. So I call for new elections. I hope that Oracle will run on a separate ticket, and keep his seat. I also hope that Monkey will run, and gain one seat (not three). And for the manifest good of Aytos, I will also run, so that my vote can be a voice for moderation in the changes that will be made to our system. I don't want to run Aytos, I just want to be there as a loyal opposition to provide much-needed balance.

TLDR: Monkey should have opponents in parliament like Oracle, myself, Strattmatt57, or even Cheif or Torche, so that he can't give himself dictatorial powers under the new system he is making.

For the reasons stated above, I declare that I have no confidence in the current Aytos Federal Parliament, and I hereby call for the citizens of Aytos to sign their names to this Citizens' Referendum of No Confidence.

UPDATE: I count nine citizens' signatures, which is more than the eight needed to dissolve parliament. I call on Interior Minister Monkeywithanaxe to hold new parliament elections within ten days.
