Varied Senate Membership Amendment [Debating]

[Junkie]

I would say that in the real world I am against term limits, but in terms of the game, it is worthy of discussion.  If we force open elections, it might (and I stress might, because I am not totally sold on the idea) foster competitive elections.  Although the idea may have meant more when we had only two real parties.  Now with a plethora of parties, we may have more competitive elections.  But the recent regional elections seems to go against that.  I would say I would like to see how the at-large elections go before we start messing with this.

So I guess, put me down as probably against.

Let's try an old pre 17th amendment idea. Have the regional assemblies elect the senators.

Noooooooooooo

I concur...

I actually have long advocated for the regional senators to be exactly that.  First it makes them true "regional senators" representing the region and second, it makes regional legislatures a much more important spot than just something to do until you run for something else (not saying everybody believes that, but some treat it that way.)
