Bill: Chamber Enlargement Ammendment
Details

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.

Description[?]:
Noting the increase in the number of parties in Lodamun, and feeling that the number of seats leaves legislatures with far too many constituents, we propose that the chamber be doubled in the next election. |

Message | There is no need to. We have had 9 parties with the same amount of seats an it wasn't a problem. |

Message | OOC: No matter how many seats there are, you are going to get the same percent of seats with 75 or with 750 seats. The current system of election does not take into account how many seats there are. Basically, you are going to get "more seats" but not a higher percentage of the entire legislature. |

Message | OOC: Again, that does not matter when it comes to the percentage of seats. The more seats you have, the more complicated the government becomes. |

Message | We need more seats, this will give the small parties with no seats a chance of gaining even just a few. |
