Bill: Legislative Meeting Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Telamon Moderate Party
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: June 2775
Description[?]:
| Proposal 1 ~ It seems as if a 36 month period would be sufficient until a change is needed, 42 months seems extensive. Proposal 2 ~ The more seats there are in Parliament the more accurate and precise a reading we will receive on what the people want. The number is odd to avoid an even split in votes. |

| Message | While we agree wit the proposal to change the term lengths, we disagree completely with the number of seats proposal. If anything, the number should be going down. Because of this, we must vote no on this bill. We are proposing a separate bill (found here:http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=255462 ) to coincide with our own views on the matter.
