Cris Survey - Creation of a second chamber.

[Senator Cris]

In the last period, we have heard so much about the creation of a second chamber.
It's time to feel what Atlasia think about this. Please answer my questions. 5 DAYS!

1. Are you in favor or against the creation of a second chamber?

2. Assuming that a new chamber is created. Are you in favor or against the "perfect bicameralism" (both chambers discuss about a bill. To approve a bill is needed the vote of both chambers)?
- Vote "in favor" If you support the "perfect bicameralism".
- Vote "against" If you think that the chambers should deal different things.

3. Assuming that a new chamber of 15/18 members is created. How should be elected the chambers?
- A Senate of 10 members (5 At-Large and 5 from the regions, as it is today) and an House of 15/18 members elected At-Large.
- A Senate of 10 members (5 At-Large and 5 from the regions) and an House of 15/18 members elected by districts.
- A Senate of 10 members (2 Senators elected by each regions, with 2 Classes) and an House of 15/18 members elected At-Large.
- A Senate of 10 members (2 Senators elected by each regions, with 2 Classes) and an House of 15/18 members elected by districts.

4. Assuming that a new chamber of 15/18 members is created and the members elected At-Large. What is the best system?
- The current system, STV.
- The members should be elected proportionally with a blocked list. The party's executive (or with primary) make a list with the candidates with a specific order. The elector should vote a list  (only one list) but can't make preferences. The seats for a list are calculated proportionally. If there are 5 seats, the first 5 of the list are elected.
- The members should be elected proportionally with an open list. The party's executive (or with  primary) make a list with the candidates. The elector should vote a list (only one list) and express a preference/preferences for one (or more) of the list candidates.

5. Assuming that a new chamber of 15/18 members is created and the members elected At-Large proportionally with an open list. How many preferences should be express?
- 1 preference.
- 2 preferences.
- 3 preferences.
- 4 or more preferences.

Thanks to all and sorry for grammatical errors

[Senator Cris]

I'm in favor of a senate of 6 (region elected), a house of 11(at-large), and consolidation to 3 regions.

Senate of 5 (one per region), house of 11(2 per region with one elected at-large) and no consolidation.

[Senator Cris]

My favorite options:

1 - Senate of 10 (2 for each region) and House of 15/18 (Elected proportionally At-Large with an open list)
2 - Senate of 5 (1 for each region) and House of 10/11/12 (Elected proportionally At-Large with an open list).

Against the "perfect bicameralism".

[Senator Cris]

I'm against the perfect bicameralism because, in Italy, the "perfect bicameralism" involves a continue exam of the same bill by both chambers. If a law is approved by the Senate, the law goes to the House and If a part of the law is modified, the entire law returns to the Senate and so on. IMHO, this is too chaotic.
