Bill: Sensible Parliament Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Freedom 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: November 2154

Description[?]:

This act seeks to bring about an orderly and debate filled parliament instead of one where parties compete on how many bills they can propose.

As can be seen recently, with the large limits on proposals, parties will introduce lots of bills and not debate at all.

This bill seeks to make sure bills are restricted so that debate is ensured, parties have to choose which bills to propose and that consensus can be reached. Smaller government is better government, lots of frivolous bills distract legislators and mean we cannot concentrate on bills that matter as our time is wasted with lots and lots of bills.

MessageWe have left our Parliamentary Freedom Act in debate for a very long time, besides the kinds of things I proposed now are either at the request of other parties, hence you've already had the chance to debate, or things you either favour or oppose, hence no debate is necessary.

MessageAnd this is just another petty "libertarian" attempt to limit the powers and abilities of the Federal Parliament and to put the democratic opposition at a disadvantage by not allowing them the full opportunity to propose alternative policies. A vote for this is a vote against democracy.

MessageNo it is not. The RSDP is lying once again, we seek this to promote better debate, to promote good Parliamentary discussion and i do not see how reducing how many bills you have at once from 30 to 21 puts the opposition at a disadvantage. You get 48 proposals a term under this proposal, that is per party.

MessageKeep the monthly dole the same but decrease the amount that can be stored? That way, everyone gets more proposals, but they can't make gigantic omnibuses...

Message12 a year gives one a month, better than 15 a year which gives 1 a month apart from every four months where you get two.
