This constitutional convention should most definitely go on, but we need to drastically re-think our approach. We need to come up with a solution that either changes regions drastically (which won't pass) or keeps within the current framework (I'm looking at you, Purple State
), but polishing it up and making minor certain additions or reforms where needed, amounting to a new and improved, but still similar, solution.
I think my proposal does that, though, if I may take a moment to pitch my own proposal for a moment. It reduces regions a bit, expands the Senate a bit, rewrites the constitution (basically a proofread) so it's easier to follow after years of additions and changes, and makes minor changes here and there (to game moderators, elections etc) all the while not radically or even substantially changing our system of government.
One thing I have no intention of going along with though, is unnecessary change. If there's no rationale for something at all (like a bicameral legislature) or there are things that are quite obviously not going to pass the referendum (abolishing regions entirely) then I won't support it.
Bottom-line, we should PM delegates, root out the inactive ones, get some new people in here, get one solution on the tracks that keeps the overall system of government we have going now, but making some alterations where necessary, and give this one last push for success.
We need a
SIMPLE and
PRAGMATIC solution, not one that is doomed from the beginning, or bogged down by unneeded changes or unnecessary complications.
