Bill: Inceasing amount of seats in Grand Majelis
Details
Submitted by[?]: Al'Badara Republican Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: June 2485
Description[?]:
| As you may all know, the formerly called ACAP and AAP (now called DAAB) believes in increasing seats since our inception to the people's hearts for over 40 years. We believe in having the highest possible amount of seats possible without resort to having a deadlock in the House, which would be 749. We are curious from each party to how many seats there should be, considering that our population has reached over 140 million people. |

| Message | We aren't. Rutania has the full 750. So do many other nations. |

| Message | There is no need to have that many seats. Also what happens if two sides both have 375 and no cabinet can be formed. |

| Message | The DAAB would suggest 749 (OOC: the limit is 750 and we cannot have 751 unfortunately). Even the most undemocratic country had 750 seats, Deltaria Nova. Our population demands more representation, we previously had over 1 million people per Grand Majelis member, now it is slightly over 500,000/GMM which is way too much for any democratic country when most democratic parties have 100,000 members or fewer per elected federal official. |

| Message | We would support 749 seats. |
| Date | 12:47:34, November 11, 2007 CET | From | Movement for a Patriarchal Society | To | Debating the Inceasing amount of seats in Grand Majelis |
| Message | We would prefer to reduce the number of seats, not increase it. Al'Badara doesn't need so many politicians. |
