Bill: Hoganist Constitution Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Real Patrons of Hoganism
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: September 2499
Description[?]:
| We do not think that a person's vote in a smaller region should be worth more. That is basically what it is doing by having the current legislation. In a smaller region they elect the same amount of seats, so a single person's vote count for more than a single person's vote in a larger region. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The method used to determine the number of seats each region receives in the national legislature.
Old value:: Equal representation, regardless of region population.
Current: Equal representation, regardless of region population.
Proposed: A proportional algorithm that gives a very small advantage to larger regions.

| Message | The degree of advantage gained by residents of the smaller provinces under the current law is less than the advantage gained by residents of larger provinces would be under the proposed reform. So, no. |
