| Message | We do not support this. Increasing the number of proposals increases the risk of overwhelming the political process and damaging the Country. OOC: The reason the numbers are set as they are is due to the problems we have suffered in the past. The current allowance is to stop "bill flooding" and, more importantly, to stop (or at least try and discourage) parties from creating massive single bills with many proposals which tends to lead to problems. The 9 quota is quite usable and the quota is replaced over time so there is never really any major difficulty in gaining visibility as long as the proposals are used correctly. |
