LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION. WE HAVE SURROUNDED THE CAPITAL BUILDING. IT SHALL ONLY BE A MATTER OF HOURS BEFORE WE BREAK IN. YOU KNOW LET’S JUST HOPE OUR PROPAGANDA WORKED AND THE PEOPLE SUPPORT US.
Dear Former President u/Bluitwns,
I want you to know that your legacy, what’s left of it is going to end. You will have no one to blame but yourself.
I loved you. I studied under you at the prestigious university you once lectured at. I followed you as an avid supporter: I was a day one canvasser for the Yeomen and your premiership as Sachem, I fought for you at Tiatu, I even followed you into the Coalition.
When you broke the strikes, I cheered. When we lost Wuhmia, I cried. When the Revolution rose up, I awoke.
You used your powers to ignore the will of the people, your most important role as president.
Well, that eroded all the myth that surrounded you, you’re nothing more than the UP animals that you once conferenced with.
So when my new movement accomplishes everything you fought against, for the people and the land. I want you to know I will erase your name from the history books.
Welcome to Season 2,
u/Reditwns,
General Secretary
Permanent Socialist Alternative
Over the past few weeks, a number of amendments have been made to the Constitution. Most are minor clarifications or structural changes, but several introduce significant changes.
Below is a summary of the most important changes:
• Presidential elections: Presidential elections have been changed from once every two months to once every month, alongside corresponding changes to the election timetable.
• Parliament size: The method used to determine the number of MPs has been changed. Parliament will now use the formula 10 + 75/N_citizens, with a maximum of 30 seats.
• Legislative term limits: MPs may no longer serve more than two consecutive terms, although they may run again after sitting out one election cycle.
• Introducing legislation: Bills now require the support of at least 25% of Parliament or eight MPs, whichever is lower, before being submitted to the Speaker.
• Citizen Bills: Once each month, one citizen will be selected at random and given the right to submit a Bill to Parliament. Their Bill must receive the same opportunity for debate, amendment and voting as legislation proposed by an MP.
• Emergency parliamentary sittings: The President may now call a 10-hour emergency sitting of Parliament to reconsider legislation where serious unforeseen consequences become apparent before it comes into force. Overturning the legislation requires a three-quarters participation threshold and a three-quarters majority.
• Referendum petitions: A citizen petition supported by 30% of the citizenry now automatically requires a referendum to be held within two weeks.
• New constitutional rights: The Constitution now explicitly establishes Thursday as a government day of rest and includes a new Right to Remain Silly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
