Constitutional Amendment - SECTION 1 B)

Constitutional Amendment - SECTION 1 B)


This amendment will patch up a highly unrealistic hole between the regionalism scheme and the main constitution. I hope we can all vote for this, or the game will remain very unrealistic and less interesting. The vote will last for 3 days, and enough votes here will let it pass by default. I especially urge the citizens to vote for this bipartisan vote, to make the citizen registry have any bearing at all.

SECTION 1 B)

"Every Member of Parliament must be registered in their home constituency [City Registry] to be allowed to vote in the Provincial Assembly and the National Assembly of Civilitas as well as to be eligible for public office"

[downtown]

I vote No
There have been reports of administrative backlogs with registering people in the city group. Until those have all been resolved, people should be allowed to vote after they join the user group.

Once those problems are addressed, then this would be fine. I don't want to scare away any new players

 

[Red Door]

I vote no, seeing as the bureaucracy in allowing people into cities is quite behind.

I will abstain for the moment. Downtown's made a good point, we have been slow getting signees into the city. Tagore Hills has been on the block for a good while and it still has yet to be included.

Until then, new MPs could be considered "at large" until we assign them or we get a better plan. If they're not in a province, then fine, they can't vote in provincial matters, but they should be able to vote on national issues under this current system now. If we're quicker to maintain our databases or assigning new players (if they don't come out and state their preference), then this amendment will be fine.

To that end, I suggest we let no more than 72 hours lapse before a new MP is placed. We make it absolutely clear that a new MP either place themselves at the outset, even if they register no party at the time, or we will place them later. They could begin voting on national matters as soon as they're in the user group and will then join the provincial caucuses once they have been placed.

I'm willing to change my vote should this be addressed.

Edit: Given that the new Section 1A proposal is looking like it will pass with a good margin, I hereby change my vote to Yes on proposed Section 1B. I urge other MPs that abstained or voted against on the same reasoning as I have to do the same.

 

[Splime]

I change my vote to no for now.
