I'd like to invite the Túischac'h @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP hold forth on this.

I was reading about how they do things in Kosova, and it strikes me that an "open list" system can only work if we're doing the Pseudo-Real Cosă (i.e. like, 2 seats maximum per MC). In that case, the simplest open list system is:

- you get to vote for ONE party, and in addition, ONE candidate within that party's list
- if the party gets fewer seats than they have candidates, the candidates with the top X popular votes get those seats
- if the party is entitled to have Y candidates holding more than 1 seat, those will be the candidates with the top Y votes.

Effective control by voters of who, within their preferred party, gets into the Cosă is a democratic advance.

This bill will change every PD that has already been signed. I'd suggest grandfathering it in so that only new PDs are affected.

Stop casually throwing umlauts on his name and making me look bad.  Think of us poor ignorant folks over here with no diacritics on our travel keyboards.

Fair enough. I don't mind this. (This was probably the wrong place to have this discussion in. I'm sorry, Lüc...)

Yes, I noticed that, lol -- I had to change the text as you had it to be a bit more clear (since member of the Opposition is too loose, and could just mean any person and you clearly meant an MZ) and I screwed it up when fixing it.  Should be okay now.

Begging the Seneschal's pardon, but it appears in his edit to his bill, he altered the text of the "currently reads" as opposed to the "shall be amended to read" portion in Item 1.

Edit: I see he's fixed it, carry on.

It's essentially the change suggested by Mic'haglh: 5. If the Immigration Minister and a Member of the Ziu associated with the Opposition determines that the prospective immigrant shall not be considered further, the prospective immigrant shall be informed of this decision, and shall be made aware that a Grant of Citizenship may yet be obtained by the disappointed applicant if an act of the Ziu be passed directing that such a grant be issued. Any account created for the applicant on Wittenberg shall then be terminated.

I also briefly had it screwed up a moment ago when I was fixing it, since I originally just had "a member of the Opposition" and I thought that was unclear, so you might have just been looking at a version with the change in the wrong spot.

I obviously need to make this an act and amendment to address the downstream effects on el Lexhatx, but this is the start.
