Antillan Constitutional Convention

[Barnes]

Ooc: wouldn't you all much rather have me, out of convention, appoint the leader of the majority party or coalition or person most likely to have a working govt to form a govt in the kings name? Otherwise your pm is like a speaker. Which is sort of true but sort of isn't.

Ooc: That'd be fine with me.  I just think we should establish some kind of party standings in Parliament, first.

Some random numbers for our parliament... let's say a parliament of 150 seats. This isn't a big country, after all. As for parties... I think we have to have an unclear election result, right? At least to start with. So...

Social Democrats - 54
Popular Movement Party* - 31
Liberal Party** - 23
Pitfarris Nationalist Party - 22
Cooperative Party - 14
Independents - 4
National Patriot Party - 2

Which gives us a parliament without a natural majority and with significant representation for a very wide range of interests.

*I'm assuming that this is Conservative or Christian Democratic in some way.
**I'm assuming that these guys will be fairly right-wing as well.

I'm quite interested in this.

Also, as far as voting on bills go, I think the fairest way to do it would have the RL players to decided internally how their party would vote on a said bill and then inform the Speaker, GM, whoever, who would tally them all up.
