Bill: Governmental Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Likaton Coalition of the Willing
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: May 2321
Description[?]:
| We believe that the current electoral system is restrctive, and prevents stable government. We wish to: (i) Increase the available proposals per annum, to allow more detailed legislation (ii) To expand the elecctorate to include ages 18-20. these citizens deserve suffrage (iii) To extend the duration of a government. Given the time to propose a bill, and the frequency of elections, it is difficult for any incumbent party to craft all the legislation appropriate. (iv) Reduce the number of representatives; given the lower number of competing parties, this does not seem unreasonable. |
