I proto-propose the following AI=2 proposal, "Party Politics":
{
Create a new Power 2 rule entitled "Cliques" with the following text:
Clique leader is a public contract switch, tracked by the
Notary, with a default value of 'none', and a set of possible
values which consists of all Ministers Without Portfolio who are
parties to that contract.
A public contract is a clique if and only if it has a clique
leader other than 'none'.
The clique leader of a contract CANNOT be flipped if doing so
would cause any person to be a party to more than one
clique. Any contract change that would cause a person to be
party to more than one clique is IMPOSSIBLE, rules to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Coalition is a clique switch, tracked by the Notary, with a set
of possible values which consists of the set of cliques, with a
default value of the clique itself. A clique's coalition CAN be
flipped by its clique leader by announcement, subject to
modification by the clique's contract.
Puissance is an attribute of a clique, defined as the number of
first-class players who are parties to cliques with the clique
in question as their coalition.
The majority leader is the clique leader of the clique with the
greatest puissance, if any.
Amend Rule 402 (Identity of the Speaker), retitling it "Choosing the
Speaker" and replacing "The" at the start of the first paragraph with:
Any player CAN, with 2 support, install the majority leader as
Speaker. If there is no majority leader, any player CAN cause
the Speaker to cease to be Speaker by announcement. If the
Speaker would otherwise be vacant, the
Create a new Power 2 rule entitled "The Cabinet" with the following
text:
Cabinetry is an elected office switch with values Cabinet and
Noncabinet (default), tracked by the IADoP. If the Speaker is a
clique leader, e CAN flip the Cabinetry of an office by
announcement. When the Speaker is replaced by a new Speaker, the
Cabinetry of each office is flipped to Noncabinet.
Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Speaker's voting
limit in elections for Cabinet offices is three, if and only if
eir final vote is for a party to eir clique.
