Constitutional Amendment to Create a House of Representatives

[Јas]

One argument against this will be that we do not have the numbers required given our low turn out in both the number of candidates we have been having as well as the number of voters.

You make reasonable points, but I believe this problem remains. I certianly wouldn't expect many competitive elections.

I would suggest that for this to work the number of Senators would have to be reduced, and that the prohibition against holding two offices would have to be at least amended.

With sufficient numbers in Atlasia, I'd have no problem with a lower house. However, as it is elections are not fiercely competitive. I would fear that adding the number of positions suggested would end all competitive elections in Atlasia thereby actually aiding it's 'decline'.

I'm not sure if 100 is actually the right level to have in this instance, as should it be implemented I imagine we'll find ourselves moving from competitive elections (with a voting population in the 80-99 range) to very uncompetitive elections again.

However as a significant forum affairs reform measure, I will vote to let the people decide.
