MUNSCM - Abandoned

[Narninian]

err table not close

[cuban smoker]

Decorum delegates!

Delegate from Romania, you are out of order. While voting on a motion great care should be taken to speak only very briefly in support of your vote for the motion.

Delegate from the USA, you too are out of order.

Delegate from Romania, you are out of order again!

Delegate from Algeria, you are out of order. It is quite inappropriate to make arguments or refer to other resolutions while voting on a motion.

Delegatr from the USA, no cross-debate!

Delegate from Romania, quiet!

Delegates from Germany, Spain and Chile, while I appreciate your efforts in maintaining a level of decorum, you are also out of order.

Delegate from Romania, sit down and shut up!

Delegate from Angola, you are out of order and wrong. We are voting on the motion to CLOSE debate right now.


Now... we have... 7 votes in favour of closing debate, and 2 against. Since Russia is not present, I will rule this motion passed in the interest of time.

This brings us to voting procedures on MUNSCM 007:



MUNSCM 007: The Romania Referendum

Noting that Romania is trying to protect veto-powered countries;

Also noting that Romania is continuously attempting to cover over the possibility of a veto-powered Axis member;

Also noting Romania's attempts to pass its actions off as actions of the Phillipines;

1.

Requires

that a nuclear missile attack be directed at Romania

2.

Strongly suggests

that any nation that vetos this attack be made the target of a nuclear strike to replace the strike intended against Romania.



Delegates, please recall that MUNSCM 009 eliminates the power of veto for resolutions of this kind. I will entertain motions that relate to voting procedures, and will also ask that all delegates please vote on MUNSCM 007 now.

I still don't count enough votes either way...

Eleven votes cast, one autoabstention. Who's not voting and can they be poked? I have 5 in favor, 6 opposed, btw.

[EnPaceRequiescat]

vote: against

[the silent speaker]

That's that, then. Let's see PolarBoy's latest.

[Vraak X]

Yes, I do believe that is it, Mr. Chairman.

[Vraak X]

Mr. Chairman, the United States hereby

motions

for a reconsideration of the current vote on MUNSCM 007.

In the interest of democracy, Mr. Chairman, although those opposed to the resolution is exceeding those who are in favor of it, if the Council were to be at full status, a tiebreaker could be invoked. However, because of the absence of Russia and of other delegates, we have been unable to get an adequate vote in matters of such magnitude.

In the interest of democracy, Mr. Chairman, if a resolution has the opportunity to pass but cannot do so because of the relative lack of interest within their duties here within their Security Council, then truly no attention has been paid to an incident of great magnitude?

If this motion bears no merit, Mr. Chairman, the United States hereby motions for a call of the House, as performed before, in order to maintain the relative activity of the delegates before we proceed on to the Delegate from the United Kingdom.

For a Council as small as the Security Council, is it truly in the interest of international security to have its members absent? No. This resolution has been defeated 5-7, with Russia's abstention, the highest it could have gone is a 7-7 tie. Therefore, it is pivotal that we reconsider this motion, or at least perform a call of the house to ensure that future resolutions can be considered under full breadth.

[Vraak X]

In addition, Mr. Chairman, if a Call of the House reports that a full Council cannot be obtained, then I

move

that the Security Council takes a brief recess in order for the new delegates to fly in. We simply cannot proceed on without an active and ready Council. No matter how much the tired are pushed, they can only move so far.

[Dasquian]

Delegate from the United States, is your motion not out of order? You assume that the chair will declare this motion failed when as you yourself acknowledge not all nations have voted.

In any case, with 50% of the council opposing it it cannot possibly pass; I'm unsure as to the protocol in the event of a tie but I'm sure the chair will enlighten us

[Flying Dutchman]

Delegate from France, you're right, but out of order too, and so is China, by the way.

[cuban smoker]

At this point, we cannot consider MUNSCM 007 failed, as Russia's absence should be seen as only temporary.

I will ignore most of the things coming from the floor right now, noting that most of you are probably out of order, and entertain the motion to roll call/call of the house.

All delegates, please post another witty remark to let the council know you are still here, and I encourage spectators to consider being replacements. Also, any delegate who hasn't voted on the resolution (Pakistan, Chile, Russia) should vote when they roll call.
