Bill: New Political System Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Citizens' Pro Patria Union
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 3654
Description[?]:
| The people of Solentia demand a democratic system with the utmost levels of representation, therefore we will adopt a new, untested system focused heavily on the legislature. DETAILS: - Notably no specific Head of State or Head of Government - Chief Senator is elected directly by the people to "head" or "guide" the Senate and oversee the cabinet - Chief Senator sits in the Senate, alongside 99 other Senators (100 members of the Senate) - Chief Senator has very few (if any) priveleges over regular Senators, other than being elected to the symbolic position - Senate acts almost as both a legislature and an executive or collective cabinet, making decisions - Cabinet is therefore not very important, ministries are more advisory and symbolic while the Senate decides on policy - Senate dominates Solentian politics as it is the most democratic institution |
