RC Poll: Regional Consolidation Poll

[GAworth]

72 Hours. With the Bicameral Bill looking like it may pass the Senate, regional consolidation is on the table again.

[Donerail]

Regardless of my support for bicameralization or regional consolidation, I cannot see an Atlasia with five active regions and two active houses. Assuming we want a bicameral legislature, it's necessary.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I think it's laughable that double jeopardy is the only way some folks can get what they want in this game. Regional erosion was basically already voted down.

[Adam Griffin]

Everybody should do themselves a favor and read the proposed amendment. It is a merely an attaché to the original FTRA and would not go into effect unless FTRA were ratified first at some point in the future. It does not inflate the number of offices and of course to allow for two chambers, it would require a prior reduction of regions to 3 in order to go into effect. This bill does not push through a second chamber automatically nor reduces the regions; it rather requires the FTRA to be passed first by four regions and for the outlined consolidation process in FTRA to be handled prior.

Everybody should also do themselves a favor and inspect who originally voted to pass the 17th Amendment, which allows prior amendments to be brought back up for ratification by the regions subsequent times. The two most prominent recent Federalist chairs both supported it, as did the regions. Perhaps Hagrid thought it could only be used for conservative amendments? Double jeopardy, pshaw.
