Bill: Political Stability Constitutional Amendment
Details
Submitted by[?]: Rutanian Elitist 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: April 4409
Description[?]:
| The REP is concerned about the way in which Rutanian cabinets are proposed in defiance of electoral preferences. We believe that the President of the Commonwealth should be the sole authority in proposing a cabinet after elections. The President has a direct popular manadate which in our view supercedes the shady negotiations in parliament. Hence we propose that the President be appointing a cabinet after consulting all the parties in with seats in the Parliament. The cabinet will need the majority support of the MPs, but the Presidential assent as well. We believe, this will facilitate a more consensual, more democratic decision-making process. |
