Bill: Constitutional Reform Compromise Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Catholic Workers Union
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: January 2265
Description[?]:
We hope all parties will agree to this excellent, omnibus compromise. In exchange for shorter terms, fewer seats, and renaming Parliament, we hope other parties will allow our nation to truly be original by selecting as our national sport Ultimate Frisbee and new titles for our executives and local governments. My reasoning is simple, Telamon desperately needs to distinguish itself, and I think this is the best opportunity to do that. |

Message | I like. Just a suggestion (though I'm a little annoyed that you thought of it before I did), would anyone care for riding instead of canton? (though I like canton much better than province) Or what about premier instead of executive chancellor? or Bailiwick? High Bailiff? Lord Lieutenant? High Commissioner? Governor-General? First Plenipotentiary? I don't really care all that much what we call it. |
