Bill: Seat Expansion in Parliament Act II
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluzian National 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: September 2884
Description[?]:
| There are 473,524,951 living in our nation. 100 seats does not represent the people, nevermind the fact that there are only roughly 20 seats per region. I have proposed 500 because our population is high, 500 is a round and even number, and roughly 100 seats per region is also a good amount. The current situation means that there is 1 member of parliament per 4,735,249.51 people. The proposed number of seats mean that there will be 1 member of parliament per 947,049.902 people. As you can see, this will give better representation to the people. |
Proposals
