Bill: Independance 4 (Robinhood Act)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic 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: November 2311
Description[?]:
| More chairs in the government means power is better shared. The current system is unfair and should have a wider distribution. Next, industrial hemp shoud not be permited. If it is, many druggees can easily pretend that they are growing hemp when they are in truth growing marawana. This proposal would make drug inspections far easier and therefore help to reduce drug problems. Fourthly, terms are to long. When power is unfairly devided, which it undoutably will be in the future, the only way to solve the dividend gap is an election. However, when a party is dominant for a large time, said party gains power, influences the elections, remains in power, and the problem continues. this proposal would solve this problem. |

| Message | Yes to 1, 2, and 4, but two years is clearly not enough. If a cabinet has only 24 months, it can hardly do anything for the country. Make it four years, that would be more efficient. |

| Message | And I think that it would be more interesting, if it were exactly 183 seats and not 200. But this hasn't to be. |
