He wants to destroy regional representation. Strategically, it is a horrible move for him to make.

The overwhelming majority of Atlasians support regional representation.

Would any Senator be willing to introduce an amendment abolishing regional Senate seats?

Only if regions receive some other form of representation. I wouldn't mind a Council of Governors Wink

No the council of governors was always a dumb idea.

I support abolishing regional senate seats and making all ten at large, and adding an additional house consisting of the five Governors. Will an amendment like that pass? Well, probably not. Although I personally find it to have qualities that all sides can appreciate.

Why the Governors though? Why not make ten at-large and five regional or something in that case? Keep regional governments out of the federal government and vice-versa.

And keep executives separate from legislatures.

Hmm, despite best intentions of reforms by well-intentioned and intelligent reformers, these attempts have always seemed to failed or fall short of passing.

That means we have a chance. The support of a Senator (and a regional one !) would be very helpful for our cause. Smiley

That wouldn't be a good move in a tight race, fyi

Yes, after experimenting with some pretty freaky stuff. Of course, I did always hope that those seeds would start popping up sooner or later. And hey, that drove activity in Atlasia for a while and led to some pretty substantive ideas about game reform, many of which are now accepted law.

The problem is this: everyone wants reform. No one can agree on a way to reform. So status quo. I don't necessarily see a problem with our current set up, though. It allows for an easy learning curve and strong political parties.

And it isn't like the support of one person is crucial. It usually falls short by much more than 1 vote.

Yeah but its called vote-swinging and it works.
