Bill: Constitution Reform Bill
Details

Voting deadline: April 2257
Description[?]:
| Now that we have secured a mid-weekend election we need to preserve it. I propose a 43 month term: this way if early election motions are triggered too early the election will gradually slip back to where it belongs, along with the following constitutional reforms. |
