Constitutional Convent reports Proposal

Main Commission of the Constitutional Convent

Finally after politicly exhausting months, the constitutional convent called for by Reichskanzlerin Jette Marissen has finally reported its proposal. As expected, the proposal is dominated by the ideas of the VVP and the DRP (who were the "Republicans" but rebranded shortly before the election) who’ve drawn up a system which is clearly inspired by the old Dual Republic but with more hindrances toward smaller partys. These clauses have – understandably – caught the ire of the smaller parties in the Senate. Fortunately for them they’re going to have another chance for changes in a smaller setting together with the Chancellor. This chance is granted since they technically need the votes of the smaller parties for passing a new constitution, additionally there is the fact that Marissen herself is very adamant on wanting to pass it unanimously as a sign of political unity and stability. The press officer of the Chancellory has confirmed that before the next year, the nation is going to have its new constitution. Aside from the obvious return to universal unweighted voting and the removal of census restrictions, there is first-past-the-post planned. According to rumors fueled by Geilberg getting spotted in Bannerhafen leaving the Royal Palace (currently used by the Chancellor) the Nisrad of Himmelshtern which is currently still functionally occupied by Narikaton and Darnussia has agreed to integrate into our nation, the details of which vary strongly depending on who you’re asking. One thing is for certain: It’s getting exciting.
