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: June 2588
Description[?]:
| Parliament is quite capable of calling an election when it is needed. The proceedure should be along these lines. 1) The Prime Minister first of all gets Parliamentary Consent to retire the Government. 2) The Prime Minister then goes to the Imperial Palace to ask the Laird for permission to dissolve the Parliament. (The Laird usually accepts, as a courtesy to his Prime Minister). 3) The Laird and the Prime Minister then travel together to Parliament in the Golden Carriage of State to dissolve it. 4) MPs return to their constituencies, and begin their campaigns. 5) The people vote in the election. 6) Once the results are in party leaders negotiate with one another for the creation of a Cabinet. 7) The Laird will then approve the Cabinet, providing it will get the support it needs. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
