| Message | OOC: The number 135 comes from the size of the historical Sejm in the Kingdom of Poland in 1493. It then consisted of 81 bishops and various other envoys in the Senat, and 54 envoys elected to the lower house (Chamber of Envoys). 81 + 54 = 135. --- I proposed the change to the HoS to make it worthwhile to actually hold the office (not because I control it now). In other nations, the HoS seems to be quite powerless - it is a useless position that is merely ceremonial. If the HoS could propose the cabinet (they would have to do so even if their coalition would not benefit from it) it would allow for some behind the scenes power play that we wouldn't otherwise see. Take a country like Israel, for example. In the most recent elections, Netanyahu won and was able to form a proper government. But if there had been a more divided Knesset, then the President would have been able to appoint a certain person to have first try at forming a government. Even if they couldn't form a government, they would have an opportunity to put together a coalition which may or may not keep out the largest party (for example). In other words, it could provide for some interesting mechanics (we would probably want to do proper regulations at a later date, though). |

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 |
