S.21-3.11: Southern Electoral Districts Amendment

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

You all still have 5 people in your council?

Its called the Chamber of Delegates.

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

I support this plan to give more of a purpose to our Southern subregions.

As the Senator for Deep Dixieland (South) Sub-region I concur with the Governor.

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

I support this plan to give more of a purpose to our Southern subregions. One note is that those registered in England and Wales are in the Upper South.

Yes, though since England and Wales are not mentioned in the Constitution as part of the South, the amendment shouldn't mention it either. If this amendment passes, I imagine the chamber would quickly act to pass legislation to clarify the that England and Wales can vote for the Upper South seat (though I think that is implied already).

England and Wales are considered South in relation to the Atlasian-United Kingdom Common Market Agreement.

(iii.) Atlasian citizens being permanent residents of England and Wales shall be considered citizens of the South for Limited Jurisdictional and electoral purposes.

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

I do not think this is a good idea, districts distort the will of the people compared to at-large electorates with quotas. If you could do say 10 or 20 districts, then that would be much more representative, but as it is, this bill would make the Southern Chamber less representative of the electorate.

...and the Carpetbagger is back!
