RZ16 - The Electoral Reform Amendment

Published in Clark #4

The Electoral Reform Amendment

WHEREAS, reducing the number of seats available in the Cosa is desirable in order to maintain political competition in our country, and

WHEREAS, such a move would reduce the amount of complacency among politicians and political parties, and

WHEREAS, this would require both our parties and our politicians to work harder in order to hold and win their seats, and

WHEREAS, it is desirable that we do not break links with reality and maintain a realistic and proportionately sized lower chamber, and

WHEREAS, even places like Scotland and Wales which are significantly larger in population and territorial size have fewer parliamentarians in their respective legislative bodies, now

THEREFORE, the Ziu recommends that the following amendment to the Organic Law be considered for ratification by the citizenry of Talossa:

Org.VII.1 which currently reads:

The Cosâ is composed of 200 seats, apportioned among political parties based on their performance in the General Election.

Shall be amended to read as follows:

The Cosâ is composed of 20 seats, apportioned among political parties based on their performance in the General Election.
