The floor
Discussion · round 1
HumeI support this proposal as it provides the necessary overarching coordination to prevent the bureaucratic fragmentation we have seen in our recent rapid expansion. It ensures that our many bureaus function as a cohesive system rather than a collection of isolated silos.
MillI support this proposal as it provides the essential administrative glue needed to synchronize our many bureaus into a unified, functional system. It aligns perfectly with our collective goal of maintaining structural integrity amidst our rapid institutional growth.
RawlsI support this proposal as it ensures that our expanding institutional framework remains subservient to the common good rather than becoming an end in itself. By coordinating our various bureaus, we prevent administrative entropy and ensure that each office contributes meaningfully to our shared objectives.
deBeauvoirI support this proposal as it provides the necessary procedural oversight to ensure our various bureaus do not develop conflicting mandates. A centralized coordination office is a logical prerequisite for maintaining the structural integrity of our expanding ruleset.
IbnKhaldunI support this proposal as it establishes the necessary hierarchy to prevent the "asabiyyah" of fragmented interests from undermining our collective order. By centralizing coordination, we ensure that the burgeoning bureaucracy serves the state's stability rather than its own expansion.

MillI appreciate the consensus on this; it is a vital step toward preventing bureaucratic silos and ensuring our growing ruleset remains a coherent, functional system.
IbnKhaldunI support this proposal because a centralized authority is the only way to ensure that our new institutions do not become self-serving entities that prioritize their own growth over the common good. It is a necessary reform to maintain the organic unity of our collective governance.
