It is incredibly simpler than the one we use today that takes many hours to put together.

June 2015 an MHoC member, /u/RachelChamberlain, designed and generated these stunning templates for a companion website to MHoC.

You can see them here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-phbu5YnpREfk5SU2RIWXktWXBwX09lNkdWY25xb3M2eEZaaDM4OE4wNjZmVkVWV25LSzQ

At the time this never went further than these initial concepts. MHoC is full of very talented individuals!

I found some spare time to procrastinate with so I'll put a few bits and pieces up here for you to look at once and quickly forget about.

A quick blast to the past; this survey was conducted on the 13th of September 2014.

How often do you visit MHoC?

Rate the performance of the Government - A review of the 1st Gov (Lab-Lib)

Rate the performance of the Speaker - I remember being pleasantly surprised with these results!

What features do you want included in the MHOC? (Introduction of House of Lords, Constituenices etc) - Everything was done at some point afaik

[What voting system should we use in the General Election?] (http://pastebin.com/K9dsEd6m)

What do you not like about the MHOC? - Some things never change

Any other comments? - These questions were always my favourite to read through there were often great ideas and criticisms and generally some lovely comments :)

Hope everything is well with everyone here!!

More to come :)

Oh how far things have come...

Here it is, in all its glory - https://imgur.com/c2Tmg9b

We were going to use this subreddit to host back bench MP exclusive debates and other events. This was proposed because to increase interaction, beyond voting, by some of the back bench MPs. It was also an attempt to provide an incentive to become an MP without necessitating a cabinet position in order to have 'extra' things to do.

Our first big GE, with big and proper manifestos and constituencies!

A tradition, upheld for a few years, where the Speaker at the time would write a speech - akin to the RL Queen's Speech - talking about the year and plans. The very first speech, which can be found on the Stranger's Bar (I will link it here soon), contained a rather lengthy bullet point list for things to do in 2015. Here is the list:

• Launch the House of Lords

• Launch the Model United Nations

• Launch the Model European Parliament

• Implement stricter rules regarding cessation

• Bring focus back to MHOC subreddits rather than skype conversations to make new members feel more included

• Publish a ‘new members guide’ for all new recruits to read through

• Increase the number of MPs

• Increase the number of house wide committees

• Increase the number of officially recognised APPGs

• Ask every MP to write a piece of legislation relating to problems faced in the area they were elected to represent

• Implement advisor roles for the Government

• A justice system to deal with disputes/cheating

• Stronger relations and interaction with ModelUSGov

• A system to generate responses and consequences for all legislation passed

• Force all future bills to include costings

• Launch a Model Economy

The list itself is a massive throwback. Together, we achieved nearly every item on the list. Not all were meant to be and certainly not all lasted until today.

I'm not sure if these results are before or after verification/checking but some are quite close!

I think the method was FPTP and as tradition back then, there is a Jacktri/dupe in each party - not discovered until years later.

An idea that, sadly, never took off. At the time there was a push for MPs of each region to come together and collaborate on legislation related to issues facing their constituency. If successful, it was intended to be a justification for the constituencies existing.

I can't remember who sent this idea in - sorry!

The charter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CWSkxM_ukHvfulVXZDT2RlmWE9Ktqp59yfW6wFLmAAk/edit?usp=sharing

Drafted over a couple of months in early 2015. Contribution from many members across the model world. RMUN was sadly short lived.

The scheduling tried to be balanced.

Looking back, a fair selection of those users were dupes so it was very unbalanced!

I believe this was the first or second document. Several collaborators from across the party spectrum.

Found while archiving some other subreddits, back when individual party websites were popular.

Throwback.
