Pacific Supreme Council Thread

[Antonio the Sixth]

Congratulations to or new councilors, I hope you will enjoy your new job.

On a side-note, I'm starting to find the tandem of the Council passing things and the Assembly voting them down very interesting.

The problem is that there are only 3 people voting in the Assembly. If you councilors could vote (which would be logicals since you are citizens), the bills would pass.

But that kind of kills the idea of one person, one vote, doesn't it?  We need to push for more active citizen involvement in the Assembly.

Each person has one vote in the Assembly, so I don't see where is the problem. In every country, Representatives or other legislators have the right to vote for referendums that involve the whole people.

It is however, in technicality, a bicarmeal legislature.  And the bill states that one man, one vote through the whole process, which is a very democratic way of doing it.
 
Personally, I find this tandem to be good for the region as for the first time in months, we are actually having active debate regarding bills.

Still, considering the level of inactivity in our region, this leaves two or three people the possibility to block any legislative proposal. There were more votes cast in the restricted, elected house than in the universal, illimited one.
