I switch my party affiliation from Independent to URL.

I am *very* supportive of an electoral reform that would mean that individual MCs rather than just parties would be subject to accountability from voters. A minimal way of doing this might be "open party lists", where you can choose a party but give "yes" or "no" votes to individual candidates within that party. A maximal way might be Single Transferable Vote.

There could also be room for "parliamentary reform". Like, every MC can only speak in the Hopper or the Ziu a certain number of times a month. So party leaders would have to at least delegate.

GROUP 1
3 - Electric Callboy - Tanzneid
2 - Monica - Jeg har aldri lært å elske
1 - Olivia Rodrigo - Get Him Back!



GROUP 2
3 - Jon Ranes - Verdens beste menneske
2 - AJR - Steve's Going to London
1 - Lucio Corsi - Volevo Essere Un Duro

It is a big problem in my opinion that MCs are merely custodians of party power instead of being elected and acting on their own behalf. Even for a proportional system, the way that seats are literally portioned out like slices of a pie is really strange to me.

This circumstance might contribue to the way the Cosă functions on a day-to-day basis: bills are put forward mainly by party leadership, and most rhetorical mud fights are also between party leaders, while the rest of the Cosă silently spectates on the sidelines waiting for the monthly Chancery email reminding them to vote on the Clark arrives in their inbox, just to unquestioningly vote the way the party leadership commands them to. Every parliamentary system has backbenchers of course, but the ratio here seems to be way off.

In an ideal world, MCs would be empowered enough to act on their own. Maybe an electoral reform, or even a switch to a different voting system entirely, can effect this change.

Quote from: King Txec on December 16, 2025, 03:05:23 PMI would support removing so-called advisory opinions but it would be useful if someone like the Chancellor or the Bar or some other lawyerly type was available to provide guidance in cases that don't rise to the high bar of the Cort pu Inalt.

I think this is a fantastic idea and I'm wondering if it might be achieved by internal government policy. Assuming the removal of the advisory opinion the alternative advice mechanism might not need additional legislation.
