Bill: Representation Act 2089
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Centre Party of Gaduridos
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2090
Description[?]:
The number of seats in Congress has not changed in well over a decade. We are overdue for a rebalancing, to get back into the range set out in the initial Representation Act we passed. This calls for one seat for each 110,000 to 120,000 Gaduri citizens. We therefore propose increasing the number of seats in Congress from 359 to 373, which would create a ratio of one seat for every 119,962 people. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The total number of seats in the legislative assembly. Should be between 75 and 750.
Old value:: 359
Current: 256
Proposed: 373

Message | The initital Representation Act, passed in 2066, requires us to increase the size of Congress. That act can be seen here. http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=5607 I certainly hope will we pass this fairly minimal increase. If it fails, we ought to consider repealing the Representation Act and/or creating a new one to set up a process for periodically changing the number of seats. |

Message | We would prefer a senate, consisting of 100 senators, but sadly that would not pass, so we will agree to this |
