Bill: The Programme for Constitutional Reforms
Details
Submitted by[?]: União Democrática do Tukarali
Status[?]: passed
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: August 3291
Description[?]:
| "These constitutional reforms which we are proposing today, mark the end point of our Programme for Democratic Reforms, which the TDU promised to implement and has implemented during the current parliamentary and executive term. If these proposals should pass, there will be several significant changes to our constitutional structures: Firstly, these reforms would reintroduce the office of a separate head of government, who would take over a lot of the day-to-day executive workload from the President. Secondly, the head of government and his or her cabinet would be responsible to the National Legislative Assembly alone and would not require the support of the President. This measure would strengthen the position of our parliament significantly and would end the extreme concentration of power on the office of the President, which in the past has been misused for undemocratic means. Thirdly, the parliamentary and executive terms would be shortened by a third, from the rather long 6 years of the present to a future 4 years. Given the length of time that Tukarali has been under the destructive influence of the authoritarian and incompetent Fascist government, further reforms will certainly be necessary. However, in the future these will be narrower in scope and concentrate on specific political areas, unlike the Programme for Democratic Reforms which aimed to exorcise the ghosts of the Fascist past and lay the groundwork for a free and democratic Tukarali." Kristof Rivers (Minister of State in the Presidential Office and Special Government Commissioner for the Implementation of the Reform Agenda) |

| Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
