Voting deadline: April 4475
Description[?]:
| HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE ASSEMBLEIA NACIONAL, REITERATING the arguments made in the defeated Reform for Representative Elections of 4473, SEEKING to enhance election algorithms and enforce legislation that hinders corruption; THE PST PROPOSES THE FOLLOWING, with consideration: Informed by the fact that currently 1 seat in Parliament represents 390,935 voters, an appalling high proportion and questioning the extent that the current seat/population ratio contemplates our country's vast diversity in races and beliefs, we propose a change to the number of seats in the National Assembly. Our initial proposal is 355 seats, which takes into consideration the objections made by Minister Guerra (Internal Affairs) and the UDT. This number seeks to reduce the seat/population ratio to under 300,000, whilst ensuring an odd number of seats to prevent gridlocks. (CURRENT) -- Total Pop: 99,688,530 / 255 Seats / 51 per Prefeitura -- Seat/Pop Ratio: 390,935 (PROPOSED) -- 355 Seats / 71 per Prefeitura -- Seat/Pop Ratio: 280,812 |
