Bill: Increasing the number of seats in the Holy Imperial Diet
Details
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: July 3838
Description[?]:
| It is clear that 105 in the diet no longer serves the country in the way it should, especially due to the influx of new parties. We propose we increase the number of seats in Luthori dramatically to better represent each party and the will of the people. We propose we increase the number of seats in the Holy Imperial Diet from 105 to 500. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The LIP agree with the Choice. This is a dramatic increase. The party believe that the increase to 350 seats is cirrently better than an increase to 500 seats. While such a dramatic increase in the amount of power tje people have to select their representatives, we must move slowly to acclimate people to having such power, as a large amount of power in the hands of the many who donuknow how to use it could be just as dangerous as a large amount of power concentrated in the hands of the few who do know how to use it. I yield. |

| Message | We understand where you are coming from, but we believe small parties should have a degree of power. And we think the people of Luthori will welcome a larger government. But we still respect your views and understand them. |
