Bill: Restoring the balance
Details
Submitted by[?]: AM Radical Libertarian 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: September 2518
Description[?]:
Equal representation by regions effectivly disenfranchises the citizens of the larger regions, making their vote count less than that of the citizens of the smaller ones. We therefore call for the return to a proportional representation. |
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: A proportional algorithm that gives a very small advantage to larger regions.
