Bill: Representation of the People
Details
Submitted by[?]: Classic Liberal Party
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: April 2508
Description[?]:
| We, the Classic Liberal Party, aware that our inability to vote prevented the amendment passing, propose to increase the number of seats in the legislature to 299. This has a number of advantages; It means 200 seats are required for a constitutional amendment to pass. It means 150 seats are required for a governing coalition. It ensures adequate representation for the people. It prevents hundreds of thousands of voters in a region being disenfranchised by the system not allocating them a representative from their favoured party. (See the last election results of 2505) It is also a relatively small figure by Terra standards and is not overly burdensome on the taxpayers |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
