Welcome to my first meta post as Commons Speaker. Three things from me for this time.

1. Number of seats per person

Aya has changed the number of seats that can be held per person to four seats per person, in my manifesto I said that I want to increase this to five, to reflect the current number of people involved in MHoC better than it has been in the past. This is why as of today this change will be implemented. I am working on an idea to introduce a similar system that devo has regarding the differences between the amount of seats that people own, so I'm curious to see your preliminary thoughts on that front as well.

2. General Debates

In my manifesto I raised the idea of a general debate, a way for people to discuss a certain topic without the need of a bill or a motion to be submitted. I want to open up the submission of these general debates today, with the idea that a topic can be submitted, just like they are in real life. They can be broad, but also specific, such as 'the situation in Ukraine' or on 'food security, including the effects on it of environmental change and of insect decline.' I want the first general debate to be held this Sunday if there are any topics submitted.

3. Changes to IRL Acts

For the people who often look at the Master Spreadsheet may have noticed that there's a new sheet on it, one that makes a list of changes that have been made by acts in MHoC to bills that exist in real life. This list is not yet up to date, I'm currently stuck at Term 8, but will be updated regularly. In this list you can find all the changes made to bills and SIs, specifically to their sections and if they are repeals, amendments, or additions. I hope that this sheet makes life in MHoC a bit easier. If you've got any requests on this front, please send them through to me.
