shouldn't then the congressional body be that and you just have everyone vote on the laws?
I'm too many levels in and I can't tell which combination you're talking about XD
So I mean congress or parliment or whatnot creates laws and votes on what is ready to send to the elecorate for a vote to pass.
My gut reaction is exhaustion. I would like this if folks had the time, resources, and politicians weren't so tied up in party politics.
If you have a functional legislative arm of government, then it produces too many bits of text for the average person to keep up with it, and it's not terribly efficient for them to try. I don't need to know the particulars of industrial zoning policy, but I do want it to be sensical.
And if the politicians decide to bundle things together, lots of wedging becomes available. This seems less common for single-issue policy juries (one could even constrain their range on creation).
But in RCV and good support: sure. I think it could be made to work.
you could require pacing. no more than one bill at a time. a month for evaluation and on month for continued evaluation and voting so like no more than 6 bills a year and maybe a character limit on the laws to.
Idk if we want to be in a state that can only write ~1000 characters to regulate AI, and that will take at least a 2 month lag?
I mean it does not have to be 1000. Ideally we would have an analysis of laws and determine the size of well made legislation and then further allowed the size to be changed as needed. Changing it should be something like a two thirds vote or such to not make it willy nilly.
