Since I'm not allowed to talk on the parliamentary sub, I'll do it here. Monkey is proposing to remove the powers of the city planner, with the explanation;

^{FROM THE PARLIAMENT SUB}

City Planning should be a group decision.

I'm happy for us to take ideas from all sort of individuals and vote on them but I'd prefer it if major decisions like where railways come and go and what we do with government land were given to a parliament vote rather than just the remit of one person - as good as Doc Oracle is, that's too much power for one man to have, in my opinion. So I would like to dissolve the position of Minister of City Planning and instead, incorporate that into the roles and responsibilities of the fedral government, to execute as they please (including delegation, should future governments so choose).

tl;dr: public consultation and group decisions are good. Let's have more of that. Oracle can still lead but I'd like the gov to have final say over all plans, including railway tunnels, if you catch my drift Kev?"

Monkey doesn't elaborate as to exactly what the supposed far reaching powers of the city planner is, beyond "the remit of one person". It seems likely Monkey's problems with the City Planner are largely based on Cheifjames' tenure, which was NOT an example of the powers of the City Planner, he went well outside his mandate.

Ministers are not responsible for major decisions - it's their job to carry things out rather than be a one man lord in a particular field. Article 2.3 of the constitution; "The City Planning Ministry shall bear primary responsibility for managing plots and constructing public works in the City of Aytos". Managing and Constructing are NOT Deciding, and Monkey has this confused.

The City Planner is, in the present legislation, a civil servant to carry out the instructions of the land management act and any approved public works - NOT an all powerful decision maker.
