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. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
| Random quote: "Civil disobedience. . . is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
