Bill: Alteration of the size of the Assembly
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK)
Status[?]: passed
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: June 4516
Description[?]:
| Currently, the Republic has a method of obtaining ties, with no practicable method of breaking the tie. We propose a way to acquire a simple majority by increasing the seat count by 25 seats, thereby acquiring an odd number. There are still ways of coming to a tie, with abstentions. But in this way, an abstention will still be counted as a no, and then we will still always be able to produce majorities for or against a bill. A 25 percent increase will not dramatically alter the character of the Assembly. It will simply make it easier to obtain a majority in favor or against a bill. |
