Bill: National Congress Reduction Constitutional Amendment of 2744
Details
Submitted by[?]: Genuine Progress Alliance
Status[?]: passed
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 2745
Description[?]:
| This bill aims to reduce the seats in the National Congress from 750 to 500. MORE MEMBERS DID NOT EQUATE TO BETTER PERFORMANCE As seen in recent years, the huge number of seats in the National Congress did not lead to better performance in the government. Performance in the National Congress has been below average to average in recent years. Reducing the seats in the National Congress can therefore lead to little effect in the Congress' performance or make it more efficient by having only the necessary amount of congressmen and congresswomen for the people. REDUCTION SAVES THE PEOPLE'S MONEY The people pay the taxes to the government. The taxes are used to pay for the expenses of Congress members. As we can see, performance in Congress has been lackluster in recent years, and thus the taxpayers' money has been wasted. By reducing the amount of Congress seats, we can save significant amounts of taxpayers' money that would have gone to waste under the hands of some inefficient Congress members. |
