Bill: Democratic Governance Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Workers 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: August 4364
Description[?]:
| We believe that the current electoral system is overly restrictive to small parties. We see parliament as a collaborative enterprise in governance and regard the curent arrangement where one party controls almost 65% of seats as wholly inadequate and detrimental to the goal of collaborative governance. |
