Bill: Changes to number of seats in parliament

Details

Submitted by[?]: Libertarian 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: February 2582

Description[?]:

It's absurd that poor people of Aloria have to support 750 (!!!) greedy politicians. I would agree on lower number, if there is general consensus on this.

MessageWe generally support smaller parliament, which is why we vote for it, but why the number 301?

Messagewell, the number was just invented... 1 vote in addition to 300 guarantees, there can't be a stalemate situation with 150 against 150 votes.

MessageStalemate ensures compromise. Reduce it to 300 and we'll vote for it.

MessageDR: The higher the Parliamentarian to citizen ratio, the better quality of representation.

Nonsense, sorry. Representation means to represent certain number of people. Regarding your logic, the ideal state would be if one represented themselves, which is .... possible in small communities, not republic.

Messageanother fact: most of the other states (even larger than Aloria!) have less seats, just check the variable overview here...
