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 ?
My thoughts are that with all citizens interested in participating being given a seat in l'Etats (in the next version of the CAG), then the body would be functional to pass such laws as were appropriate for administration, with the occasional referral to all the citizens when needed. The current l'Etats could develop the new CAG, voting on modifications (such as that for l'Etats) that then would be considered for approval at the next general election.
