Bill: Number of Legislators in Storinget
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kristen Socialdemokratisk Partiet
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: March 2631
Description[?]:
| The current number of legislators in the Storinget is 500, but we should rather base the numbers on how many people live in our nation. There are currently slightly more than 235,045,000 people in our nation. We should base the numbers on a census that we complete every once in a while. The most ideal number would be 1 for every 500,000 or part of 500,000 people, which would give us 471 members in parliament. We will update the number of legislators every few years. |
Proposals

| Message | Does anyone think we should change the length of a term? If not, we'll just leave it at 2 1/2 years. (30 months= 2 1/2 years, F.Y.I.) If so, I can add a second proposal to the bill for term length, too. |

| Message | The current system is well organised and easily remembered, thus we vote to keep the number at 500. We are also more than happy with the current term length. |

| Message | Okay. I like the current term length too, but numbers don't always have to be straight out 500 or 100 or 10 or what not. The U.S.A. (real life) has a strange number of members in their House of Reps. and a good amount of nations in Terra have numbers other than the usual. Can you people not be open minded and different? |
