I open this for 48 hour debate.

I guess I will get the ball rolling. As we do have 11? candidates for the House, I feel that the status quo is working well. Making sure we have a steady system for replacement might be something we also should work on.

And also... Not electing completely inactive members to the House in the first place .

I thank GM Clyde and VP Lumine for their prompt responses, they definitely made a good case. Strong Regions are the backbone of the game and I completely agree that we must have more people running for them.

But yeah, I am genuinely persuaded by this. I also think that having a 9 (currently 7) member body is like herding cats (speaking from experience) at some points and limiting it to seven could increase the ability to have more GENUINE debate on bills. Seven seats should be the right amount to balance debate and activity with adequate representation.
