A few thoughts from your PO; AMENDMENTS AT VOTE

[Hash]

Absolutely no stupid districts, and optimally no uncompetitive dead regions.

[Hash]

A Midwest Assembly is great on paper, but would probably be a failure in practice. It simply isn't viable with the amount of citizens in the region.

More later, I'm tired.

[Hash]

Somebody explain to me why the regions are so great and a source of pride for Atlasia (and by consequence, why we need to save them), since I really can't think of any reasons.

[Hash]

If they're kept, regions should be redrawn once and left alone for a while. Regions are not congressional districts.

[Hash]

A million thanks for your very insightful contributions, officepark.

The regions should be re-drawn periodically for relatively equal membership in each.  Then we don't end up with a situation like we currently have in the Midwest, where we don't have enough members to support a legislature.  Plus, it adds a new element to the game that is currently missing....the debates on "re-regioning" could be quite interesting indeed!

Yes, but what about gerrymandering of regions? It's an aspect of this redistricting game that cannot be tossed aside, dusted away as unimportant, or reduced to irrelevance by saying it's normal. Regions are not congressional districts

[Hash]

Yes. Regional judiciaries are entirely useless. What was the last time they did something?

[Hash]

Option A, por favor.

[Hash]

We actually have regional judiciaries?  Who is on them?

Three regions, I think, have a chief justice. They don't do anything at all.

It's extremely stupid to argue in their favour, even the regionalists.

[Hash]

Would this be an exceptable compromise?

Absolutely not.

1. I'm not sure I like this Second Empire-like bicameral system, and I much prefer true bicameralism if we do establish bicameralism. However, I could live with this system even though I'm far from a fan. I do appreciate the little steps taken to accommodate parliamentarianists, even if there's a majority of "omg evil evil foreigners with parliaments!!!" people.
2. I want the House elected by STV or some form of PR. No districts or any of that crap.
3. I introduce the following amendment:
Strike Article IV, Section 1, Clause 3.

[Hash]

I ask why my amendment, proposed first, is not up to a vote.

[Hash]

     I'm not even really sure where we're going with this anymore.

I know. Nowhere. Except assist in angerangeranger moments.
