Determining regulations of Constitutional Convention. (FINAL VOTE)

[Adam Griffin]

Partisan affiliation within the game should play at least some role in how delegates are selected; otherwise, this will quickly end up being a right-wing circle jerk. I'd propose a 10-member minimum for major party status in this criteria, with 10/20 delegates being selected by the parties. There are 96 citizens belonging to parties with 10 or more members, making the math somewhat simple:

Fed: 36/9.6 = 3.75
Lab: 35/9.6 = 3.64
TPP: 15/9.6 = 1.56
CR: 10/9.6 = 1.04

Every party would need at least one representative, and since Fed & Lab each are the 2 parties closest to rounding up, you'd end up with:

Fed: 4
Lab: 4
TPP: 1
CR: 1


With the remaining 10, you could either allow each Governor to appoint 2 delegates, or you could allow the Senate to appoint 5 delegates and allow each Governor to appoint 1 delegate, for a total of 20 delegates.

With regards to my partisan affiliation proposal: there has likely never been a time in which the game's officeholders and, to a lesser extent, even the Census, has been more out of line with what the long-term and aggregate ideological nature of the game tend to be. In order for the ConCon reforms to pass when they come up for a vote, ideological balance that is at least somewhat similar to the composition of the game's citizens will be needed in order to ensure that the proposals that emerge are not ideologically-slanted or that entire segments of the game feel left out of the process. Furthermore, there are so relatively few active people in the game right now that I am more or less confident that the delegates will constitute roughly the same individuals with or without the provision - this is merely a backstop/guarantee that that is the case.
