Bill: Electoral Reform Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republicans
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: February 2828
Description[?]:
| We feel that the electoral system should be reformed. Currently all states have the same number of seats in Parliament (100 each), however this is despite Sevescia having a population of 99 Million, and Migadon a population of 61 Million. Therefore we propose a system that still favours the smaller states, but is a tad more proportional and therefore gives a fairer value to each vote than the current system. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The method used to determine the number of seats each region receives in the national legislature.
Old value:: Equal representation, regardless of region population.
Current: A proportional algorithm that gives a very small advantage to larger regions.
Proposed: A pseudo-proportional algorithm that gives considerable advantage to smaller regions.
