Standing Orders and Procedures

The Standing Orders & Procedures set out the proposed rules, protocols, and operational frameworks that will govern the institutions of the United Union. These documents provide the procedural foundations for how debates are conducted, how decisions are made, and how accountability is maintained within the new constitutional system.

This section offers a transparent look at the internal mechanics of governance — the practical rules that ensure fairness, order, discipline, and democratic integrity across the People’s Assembly, the People’s Parliament, the Council of the Union, and Order of the Union.

Here, you will find detailed Standing Orders covering:

  • Conduct of business and legislative procedure

  • Debate, voting, and decision-making processes

  • Rules of membership, attendance, and decorum

  • Committee structures and operational guidelines

  • Oversight, scrutiny, and record-keeping requirements

  • Authority, powers, and limitations of presiding officers

These Standing Orders are essential to ensuring that the new system operates with clarity, consistency, and accountability from the first day of implementation. They reflect the movement’s commitment to transparent governance grounded in the values of Community, Solidarity, Humility, and Duty.

By publishing these Standing Orders openly, the Now or Never movement invites public scrutiny, expert engagement, and ongoing refinement — demonstrating that the architecture of the United Union is built on openness, democratic responsibility, and rigorous procedural design.
