Bill: Government Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican Federalist 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: December 2519
Description[?]:
Article 1: To our respected friends in the Conservative and Morality Party, it is with regret we feel the need to propose this measure. We may not all hold high political offices however, our parties have been elected by the people for the people. And our proud citizens, if desired, need the option for their representatives to call forward for a cabinet proposal. There are numerous instance as to the wisdom in this. Clearly, this is a moderate move. Any absurd proposals will naturally be voted down. Our government must become effective and put parties in positions where their knowledge and skills can help our proud Republic. Article 2: In accordance with the demands of the people for a more accountable and responsive government, it is far past time we narrow down by some degree legislative terms. |

Message | We do not have to continuously debate and remake cabinets, I am sure the FIP shall agree with me there. It is an unneccessary waste of government funding and time. (OOC; I hope you realise that the cabinet doesnt actually DO anything In game). I see no reason why the number of seats should be lessened. That would leave a riddiculously high number of constituents to a representative. |

Message | (OOC: I realize this and you could have sent this to me in a message. I'm playing a party and from that perspective having you, in control of the government and being the only one able to call forth cabinet elections-it is within RP interest for me "rail" against it. Don't think I mean any offense at all towards you. Also, Article 2 is an error. Ignore this bill. I will re-propose this though with Article one remaining for the aforementioned reasons. Sorry ladies and gents.) |
