Randomness’s original proposal for minimum criteria to join Congress was a threshold of 5%. However, in a 40-voter election (which is typical), that’s only 2 votes. So a party could send a representative to Congress with just 2 votes, not even enough to fill a whole ticket. Example: Steel Party could send Shuriken to Congress with just the votes of Shuriken himself and xxminecraftboi, who is constantly getting accounts deleted for harassment, racism, and death threats and hardly qualifies as a citizen IMO.
We want to make small parties viable, but a 5% threshold perhaps encourages small parties too much.
Wanted to get the community’s thoughts.
