Description[?]:
| A few things to help the nation and its parties. The first article is to create simplicity within elections. This way, no matter what the idelology of the region, they will recive representation in government. Article 2 would reduce the Election time to one week less 4 hours in Earth Time. This is so that we can have an election every week, but also change the time of the election so that all time zones are accomodated. Article 3 Will up the Number of seats to 100, making it not only easy to calculate majorities, percentages, etc but keep at at a relatively low rate compared to other nations. |

| Message | OOC: This isn't random opposition for the sake of contrariness. I actually appreciate what the SPenocrats are trying to do here. I'd actually be happier with the elections being on a weekly basis, for me, timezones are irrelevent, and the 'rolling' thing will just be more of a headache than is worth it. Also - the larger prefectures having a higher weight seems realistic to us, since (probably) they'll have more citizens, and so send more representation to the Convocation. IC: Sorry, we can't support this agenda, as it stands. |
