The Pirates noted a general increase in workload for lawmakers in the Chamber of Deputies as the number of annual sessions is said to have increased from 34 in 2018 to over 70 in 2023.
MP Sven Clement thus expressed a desire to gain more seats in the Chamber so that the Pirates can hire more employees to cover the workload. He jokingly noted that he would surely have fewer grey hairs and MP Marc Goergen a little more hair with some support from additional staff.
The MP continued by reviewing all the legislative procedures, such as parliamentary enquiries, that the Pirates used in the Chamber.
He shared his belief that a reorganisation process is needed, suggesting that lawmakers should convene the entire week, not just between Tuesday and Thursday. MP Clement also proposed to renegotiate the time allocated to speakers in the Chamber.
The Pirates further complained that the administration appears to throw money at problems, citing the Science Centre controversy and the ‘SuperDreckskëscht’ affair as examples. Similarly, the ‘eSanté’ agency was labelled a “disaster” by Pirate officials.
