Bill: Debate Post by Party for a Democratic Socialist Society
Details
Submitted by[?]: Party for a Democratic Socialist Society
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: May 2169
Description[?]:
| In Jakania, there is a very big pressure on parties to rapidly and often put things to vote. The reason for this is that a) there is a high number of new bills (20) that can be given to the parties every year, and b) a low (5) number of bills that can be gathered. I believe a system in wich both numbers can be reduced to 10-10 will have a positive effect on legislation making. Parties will have less necessity of flooding the system with new laws to profilise themselves, and can have more serious discussions on the laws that are proposed. Also, because you can stock up to 10 laws, you are less needed of using your bills fastly, you have about 1 year the time before you lose bills because you do not propose new things. What do you think? |

| Message | I would tend to agree, the flood of bills makes it difficult to make sure each is debated properly. |

| Message | This is indeed true. It is very difficult to have a serious discussion on the bills being introduced considering the very high level of new laws that have to be introduced to keep the parties profilised |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
