SENATE BILL: Atlasian Reboot Act (Withdrawn)

[bore]

I don't think anyone can deny that atlasia, at the moment, is stagnating, a full day recently went by before a new post was made on fantasy elections, the mideast had 5 votes on the most recent amendment to the constitution, large sections of the wiki including the constitution page, are out of date, elections aren't competitive and apart from a handful of people, our laws on everything from health to education are an indecipherable mess.

Clearly, something has to be done. I introduced this bill not because I think it's perfect, or the solution, but because anything is better than the current malaise. I'd welcome possible amendments or changes, but we need to get the ball rolling.

[bore]

As I said, I by no means envisage this as being the final text we vote on, and anticipate further amendments.

Perhaps one thing we could do is get a GM like figure/commission to explain what our current policies are- sort of like the mock parliament thing, where it's established, from the start, that, say, gay marriage is legal, the defence budget is X billion as a sort of baseline explanation which we could work on.

Wouldn't a constitutional convention just lead to changes in, well, the constitution? That would surely still leave legislation unaffected.

nah.

if that were the case, the current constitution wouldn't have needed article viii section 1.

Thanks.

Given that a constitutional convention could, if it wanted to, change legislation, I wouldn't be opposed to going down that path instead.

I'll withdraw this bill, so we can get to work on a ConCon.
