A new Mock Parliament

Consider me in!

We could also always do a combination of both. Perhaps ten seats are allocated by FPTP with constituencies and ten are chosen by closed-list PR?

We really ought to start out with maybe ten seats at first until we reach Atlas numbers. Just thoughts on the matter.

And Verin yes I think it's important to limit officeholders - I was just talking to Dallas about this and he (correctly) pointed out that a universal parliament/pure government sim as some were suggesting would be just the US General Discussion board with a map.

I'm hoping that everyone who signed up will try to run in a race (either constituency or on a party list). I also hope they'll check back every now and then if they're not elected.

This game will really survive on a mutual commitment to sperg - for us to vote down cabinets if they're being inactive, for us to challenge MPs who are running out on ideas. That kind of interaction is only interesting if left without interference.

I'd like to limit office holders enough that we have a voting base of at least five people, so having regional governments might not work.

Closed-list PR, no regions. We don't need that kind of bureaucracy. I have some other ideas.

I'd love to hear them!
