I feel that setting the major party threshold at 6 members, one for each subregion, would be a good compromise for the conundrum of minimizing zombie parties while keeping the barrier to formation of new parties relatively low.


Quote from: Amendment Offered
A BILL FOR AN ACT
Establishing a legal threshold for federal party status

BE IT ENACTED BY THE SENATE RESOLVED.
Quote
Section 1, TITLE.
i. The title of this Act shall be, the “Proportional Party Majorness Agreeable Gateway Act.”
ii. This Act shall not be referred to using the title's acronym.

Section 2, THRESHOLD.
i. A federal political party shall be considered a "major party" when the party in question obtains a membership that consists of at least 3 6 registered members.
Section 3, ENACTMENT.
i. This bill shall take effect starting with the first census held after either signature by the President or a veto override.

No objections by me. To tell the truth I don't know much about how many typically register with parties, and I voted for S019's proposal thinking that 15 was low and that those opposing it wanted a higher bar; of course, I was wrong. 6 seems reasonable, though, and I see no reason to oppose it.

I will strongly consider backing this. Seems to be a good middle ground.

Still on the fence about this but I'll object so the rest of the Senate can weigh in. Dave knows they should be paying attention to this.
