Bill: Gov.0047.2671 Amendment to Election Law
Details

Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2672
Description[?]:
| The reason for this amendment is because we feel that in situations like DSP's in the cabinet proposal http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=228825, DSP's abstain will be held against him in future cabinet proposals. We feel this would be unfair. This law makes that a party who has reached the block violation minimum requirements can still be include in a cabinet proposal during the election cycle. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Resolution 1 ----------------- Include the article written under 'Proposed Article' to the election law The Fair Apportionment Act of 2662 (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=225528) at the new position 2.4. Resolution 2 ----------------- This bill requires an absolute majority to come into effect, as per election law Article 4 (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=225528) Resolution 3 ----------------- The effect of this bill are valid as soon as the bill is passed. Proposed Article ---------------------- Exclusion from cabinet for reaching the block violations quota will be at the discretion of the party in the position with the power of cabinet creations. |

| Message | Ja. That was the original intend. But re-read the law. I didn't write it in. 2.1. A 'block' is defined as at least one (1) 'No' vote or at least two (2) 'Abstain' votes by the same party against any valid cabinet proposal during a legislative cycle, regardless of reason. So, the block is set as it should be. That part is fine. 2. Should any party block a proposal in which they have been given proportional representation, they shall be excluded from the cabinet at hand and their seats redistributed to the rest of Sekowo\'s parties in a fair manner "they shall be excluded". I never put in the 'veto' or whatever you wish to call it for the Tenno to ignore a block. |
