N.E.R.D. Proposal: every Party that wins at least 5% of the vote gets a Congress seat and total control over whom they send.

Our proposal is for a Parliamentary system, which is better suited for a multiparty democracy like the one we have here.

—Congress expands from 15 to 20.
—1/20 equals 0.05, or 5%. This means one Congress seat is equal to 5% of the vote.
—Each Party decides for itself who will represent the Party at Congress.

So, assume the following election results: N.E.R.D. 35%, RUP 25%, HCP 20%, CSP 15%, Pepe 5%.

Congress would look like this:

NERD: 7
RUP: 5
HCP: 4
CSP: 3
Pepe: 1

And here’s a critical point. Every Party would get to decide for itself who to send. So, RUP could send IncognitoGuy, if they chose, even though I impeached him and if it were up to me filling the seat I would choose a more moderate RUP member. This ensures Parties remain truly politically independent and can’t be yanked around by the ruling Party.

This also means Parties also have control over filling their own Congress replacements (for afk-ness, or promotion to the Cabinet, etc.) so that the composition of Congress doesn’t end up skewing in favor of the ruling party as the term continues.

I vote nay.

I’m not much a fan of a parliamentary system. I’m more in favour of a Congressional reform that involves something like this.

Congress expands to 20 seats: 12 elected by the President, Vice President and Head of Congress, 4 appointed automatically based on election results and 4 senators (only exception to the ban on Congressmen being senators and vice versa) elected by the Head of Senate.
The Senate will consist of 15 members, 4 of which will also be elected into Congress by the Head of Senate.
The Senate shall have members from these streams:
Conservatives (alternative to Politics)
PoliticsTOO
LGBTQ
AnimePolice/Anime_Girls_Army
Anti_Anime_Memes
Crusader_Stream
Everyones_A_Mod
MS_Memers_Group
PPolice
The other 6 streams are optional choices. The HoS and President shall get 2 picks while the HoC and Vice shall get 1 pick on the optional.

Senators must be:
An Active Stream Member
Not in Congress (exceptions apply)
Minimum of 3 posts

Congressmen must be:
An active stream member
Not in Senate (exceptions apply)
Minimum of 5 posts
