Bill: 265-seat House of Representatives
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Liberal Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 4383
Description[?]:
We propose a Congress with 265 members, that is 53 representatives from each State. It's still a big number so that proportional representation is in place, but: - It is divisible by 5, so every state sends the same amount of representatives (what is fair according to their current population) - 53 is a prime number, so there cannot be a tie on either normal reforms (1/2-1/2) or constitutional reforms (2/3-1/3). No majority-blocking ties will happen. - The majority votes necessary are easily memorable: 133 for standard majority, and 177 for constitutional two-thirds majority. |

Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
