Bill: Maximum Representation Act - Bring True Democracy to Aloria
Details
Submitted by[?]: Independent Capitalist Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: March 2158
Description[?]:
| Increase the seats in the parliament to 750. Calculations would still be easy. 376 is the minimum for a bill that requires more than half the seats to pass and 500 is the minimum for a 2/3 vote. However, this will lead to the maximum amount of representation in Aloria possible. |

| Message | MP's gonna be the swing vote, most likely. Based on their previous voting record, this bill will fail. I'll repropose it after the LCP fails, thus making passing bills easier with no abstains. |

| Message | After the LCP inactivates, that is. Should be around Tuesday RL time. |
