As you know it, rules are currently being decided by the polls. Timeline is currently compiling these rules in a "constitution", according to the wish of the many voters who want a limited set of rules. The current "constitution" can be found here.
However, one question has not been adressed until now : how should rules be changed ?
This concern is perfectly natural : as the game and the mentality of citizens will evolve, our needs will not be the same.
According to our democratic principles, the question of the constitution's revision should be answered by the people.
Here are the options :
- Group A : A majority vote (51%) is enough to amend the constitution. Anyone may post a poll for amendment
- Group A : A 2/3 vote (66%) is enough to amend the constitution. Anyone may post a poll for amendment
- Group B : Only a minister or a president can post a poll for amendment. Once this is done, A majority vote by the people (51%) is enough for it to pass.
- Group B : Only a minister or a president can post a poll for amendment. Once this is done, a 2/3 vote (66%) is enough for it to pass.
- Other
- Abstain.
As the polling commission advised, this poll is split into 2 parts :
1. Knowing if everybody can suggest an amendment, or only restricted political personnel.
2. Knowing what majority should be used to amend the constitution.
Sidenote : If you feel that constitution is the only matter of the government, please choose the "other" option, and mention in your post that people shouldn't voice over the constit.
The "group" wich will earn most votes will decide who has the initiative for amendments.
Then, the option within this winning group will decide what majority will be needed for a constitution change.
Example : if the 4th option (group B) has most votes, but Group A has more votes than group B overall, then anyone will be able to suggest an amendment. Within this group A, if the 1st option leads, then an amendment will be adopted by 51% of people.
