I really don't see the need for this.  If a law is really that bad and unpopular, it can be brought up to the people for a vote.

Under current law, with 3 Assemblymen, 2 people can completely run this region.

But they wouldn't.
Sure, you'd have the long process of public referendum. But only two people could turn a bill into a law. That seems like a lot of power when you consider how many active folks we have in this region.

So your argument is that 2 people controlling a region is a bad idea, but 3 people is fine?  And this really isn't happening in cases where we have active folks.  During periods of activity, the Assembly is made up of 5 people, making the concern irrelevant.

Seeing no debate for 24 hours, I'll bring this to a vote.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 48-hour vote.

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 1, and the NAYs are 2.  The NAYs have it, and the bill has failed.
