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.

Description[?]:
| In a particracy, the rights and responsibilities of political parties are of supreme importance. The SSP believes in multiparty democracy - without opposition, discussion, and compromise there can be no democracy, and therefore no stability or representation in the national government apparatus. Therefore, we hold that any proposal increasing the opportunities for debate, especially between the governing parties and the minority groups, can only benefit the Solentian Republic. |
