I'm a fond of Parliamentary Democracies but, in case in that Atlasian Conservatives boycott this change, then we should be looking forward to some sort of Semi-Presidentialism.

I'd support a plan that would call a sort of special convention to decide on specific laws worth saving, and scrapping the rest. Bit less drastic than a full reset, but it'd still be a radical change.

I can understand not wanting to press reset all the way, but I feel strongly that the best way to go is going all the way.

Not to mention that this is in many ways juridically speaking something pretty unstable. It has something to do with Constituent Power and Constituted Power. A Constitution that has already been created cannot be changed if it's not fully reformed, as far as, I'm concerned.

Keep in mind, this is a simulation and not a living constitution. Pressing the reset button is doing just that. We have a new constitution debated and voted on as soon as we vote on which political system we want to use. The current Atlasian Constitution would be thrown out and we'd start again.

I was not talking about your ideas of a reset. On a legal basis, a reset is fine, what is not fine is Sjoyce's idea. Anyway, the issue with Parliamentary Atlasia is that we would have to have more than 2 cabinet positions, we would need a more crowded legislative body and we would definetely have to have coalitions. I'm not sure how the Government would work at first but it would be quite fun to have a whole new system and to see people trying to understand the "mess" that we've created.

The problem here is that Atlasia tries in some ways to copy the American Political System so changing the Political System could result on many americans users withdrawning, especially the Conservatives, in other hand, more Europeans could be attracted Wink
