Bill: Seats in Congress
Details
Submitted by[?]: Green & Liberal Socialist Party
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: April 3372
Description[?]:
| We need more seats in Congress. 275 representatives for 99 million people isn't enough, it is just 1 representative per 360,000 people. We would like to debate what the number should be increased too, if at all. We will start off by saying an increase of 10 seats per region and we can see where we think we should all go from there. |

| Message | I might add that the Green & Liberal Socialist Party thinks the number of seats in congress should be far higher than the proposed number. However we saw it fair to start off with a small increase and see what everyone though about it. |

| Message | Sounds like a step in the right direction. :-) |
| Date | 17:35:25, September 26, 2012 CET | From | Free Labour Party | To | Debating the Seats in Congress |
| Message | We won't vote against a small increase of the congress seats. But this step should be enough. Every congress member has to be paid by the working people. Overall we will support this bill. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
