I don't support this, and I think that 7 member Councils can be acceptable, so I'll propose the following amendment

The amendment is hostile. It does not differ markedly from the original wording in the constitution and goes against the intent of L.C. 7.5 which is to simplify the arrangement of the Council by setting the number of seats firmly at five.

I oppose this amendment, for a variety of reasons. I think either we should go with a strict five or keep the current system

24 hours to object to the motion, I won't object, but I will oppose this and vote against it, if it goes to referendum.

EDIT: After looking at the Wiki, I will vote AYE on this to send it to referendum, but will vote NAY in the actual referendum
