Bill: Vote Senate Es Tee Vee Constitutional Amendment Act

[Omegabiebel]

A
BILL
To

Amend the Constitution​

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the 'Senate Es Tee Vee Constitutional Amendment Act'
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by Omegabiebel and CaseyLeFaye.
(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by CaseyLeFaye and Vernicia.

2 - Reasons
(1) SNTV is plurality voting.
(2) Plurality is one of the worst voting systems known to mankind.
(a) It discourages people from voting for their favorite choice because votes do not transfer even if your chosen candidate loses.
(b) It does not reflect the true demographic of Redmont, as some votes are wasted.
(c) It encourages strategic voting due to its flaws.
(3) The Constitution must be amended exclusively, and cannot be amended together with normal laws.
(4) To amend the Constitution.

3 - Amendment
(1) Part 1 section 9 of the Constitution shall be amended as follows:
“(1) Voting System. Elections for the Senate shall be conducted through a system of Single Non-Transferrable Vote.”

 

[End]

We have SNTV and STV to balance our system.

This was a very deliberate move to make it harder for one group to control the whole of congress.

Why would you want to change that?
