Thanks for all the effort on this but might it be simplified by just assigning the variable number of seats to all who request them, one per citizen? Then there will not need to be an election.

what would you change in the below ?Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on November 03, 2023, 01:08:06 PMA possible set-up could be : no provincial assembly, referendum for all (à town hall indeed), more than 50% of expressed votes for all laws, more than 2/3 of expressed votes with at least 50% voters for constitutional changes or Sénéchal revocation,- all province citizen can propose referendum if endorsed also by a second citizen,- specific delays for discussion, formal rephrasing, votes - public opinions / dazibao & lobbying encouraged
Would it be better for instance, to keep l'Etats as our provincial assembly, with 20 seats populated as currently with an election at the start of each Cosa, but with an additional seat given to all Cézembrean citizen requesting one, so without limitation on the number of seats before the new election?
Or, given the current number of candidates for l'Etats, start with an election with 10 seats to be allocated - or to be evolutive - an initial number of seats equal to half the population of Cézembre, rounded to the lowest integer.
This would allow to keep an initial election, with different programs, and a possibility to win a certain number of seats, but to have a variable number of additional seats to involve citizens, build up a growing opposition if needed, or reinforce a majority.
Your thoughts, everyone ?

These are run by former citizens so should also be removed.
Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on November 14, 2023, 06:07:59 AMDo you want me to submit to l'Etats a new law and a new CAG with the modifications suggested above ? or do you have other ideas for the representation of Cézembrean citizens ?
Imo, it's better to discuss what we want before a vote on a text ;-)

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on October 31, 2023, 08:39:31 AMTell me if I'm correct :
MRPC has 3 votes, XPB Party has 4 votes, TNC has 4 votes.
According to the CAG : "Article 9. After elections to l'Etats, each party will receive 20 numbers, which will be produced by dividing the number of votes the party received by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20. The 20 highest numbers will be referred to as high quotients. In case the 20th highest number has the same value as the 21th highest number all numbers with the same value will not be considered high quotients. This will result in vacant seats in the assembly. Each party will receive a number of seats, equal to the number of high quotients it received. Each party may divide its seats amongst Cézembrian citizens as it sees fit"
votes 3 4 4
1 3 4 4
2 1.5 2 2
3 1 1.33 1.33
4 0.75 1 1
5 0.6 0.8 0.8
6 0.5 0.67 0.67
7 0.43 0.57 0.57
8 0.375 0.5 0.5
This method allocates 7 seats to XPB Party, 7 seats to TNC, 5 seats to MRPC (and the 20th seat is not allocated as the 20th highest number (0.5 in this case) has the same value as the 21th highest.
As one citizen cannot have more than 6 seats, XPB party and TNC must give at least one of their vote to a second individual to enjoy the full benefit of their 7 seats.

Oh, that seems like a neat idea. I don't see why the Estats Xhenerais couldn't put that on the agenda for the next Grand Session. Do you know why nothing came of it those two or three years ago?
Mainly because we did not have any active members in the Estats Xhenerais except for myself and I was brand new to the nation...hell I still don't really understand how everything works
