House of Commons Reform Constitutional Amendment

Preamble: Believing that specific parts of the House of Commons procedure are flawed,

Calling for reform to enhance participation in democracy,

The House of Commons hereby:

Amends Article IV, Section 2:The House shall be comprised of five Members of Parliament, or MPs, who shall be empowered to present their own bills to the House's attention, sponsor bills written by citizens who are not MPs (including Cabinet members), and debate and vote on bills presented to the House. The amount of MPs residing in Lorania to form the House shall be defined as one-tenth of the number of citizens of Lorania, at the time of their election, rounded down to a whole number; further, every constituent region of the Loranian Union (see Article VIII: The Loranian Union) must also elect one citizen to represent their region in the House. MPs may not be added or removed in the middle of a term if the number of citizens increases or decreases.

Adds Article IV Section 8, and renumber accordingly: MPs may sponsor other citizens of Lorania to speak in any debate. This is done by the MP posting on the Loranian House of Commons Regional Message Board that they are sponsoring said citizen, and pinging the speaker in that post to let them know. An MP may only sponsor one citizen per debate. The sponsored citizen will not be allowed to vote on the bill.
