2. In order for any change to occur to method of selection, the vote must meet the following conditions:
A. 60% of voters must vote in the affirmative
B. 50% of the votes cast in the most recent election, whether regional or federal, but not the ratification of constitutional amendments, must be cast.

(Changed the wording a bit, hope you don't mind.)

I've lost interest in the forum and I've wasted far too much time here.

To those I consider forum friends, it's been nice and I hope to keep contact in some form.

Cheers.

I don't mind the word changing, however, I am willing to bring it down to 60% if that would get your vote

Well I can't say I honestly support it. I don't see any real need for additional restrictions on regional rights.

The same way that elections to offices work and the ratification of constitutional amendments, there are no turnout requirements. This, of course, places responsibility on the voter to make sure his voice is heard.

I have proposed this amendment to allow my fellow senators to vote on it and decide what system is best. I can't personally vote in favor of it.

I would still vote for the final bill, though, regardless of whether this amendment passes. It's a compromise that would be acceptable to me, if necessary.

     Regions should be able to unilaterally change the requirements for their own vote if they so wish.

That's actually an even better idea.

Although I think that would already be the case under Xahar's proposal Wink

Well, we are all agreeing to that, except DWTL, who is imagining a plot to destroy regions.

Indeed it is. PiT is not an obstructionist; hence, his concerns have been taken into account.

I'm not sure if this new tendency to appeal to the apparent inherent evil of Xahar in all things even remotely related to forum policing or this damn game is especially helpful.

One question from the gallery:

Does the proposal as currently written allow a single region to vote to terminate a voting partnership they previously entered?

Obviously, since regions are free to decide.

The current proposal is written as regions decide all. So, yes, a region can leave unilaterally a hypothetical partnership.

This has been debated to death. I don't think anything else meaningful will be added.

Time for a vote?

Aye: 4
Nay: 1

I'm not counting Marokai's vote....don't think I'm allowed to now that he's no longer a senator.

Two more votes in favor are necessary for passage.
