THE NEW DEMOCRACY

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENT

 

When the House of Commons granted a mandate to rewrite the Constitution in 1763: it had assumed that a steady legislative process would follow, where a people’s assembly would reform the old text piece by piece until the instrument of government was modernized for the current era. Instead, the House of Commons would only convene twice until the Commonwealth plunged into a democratic and bureaucratic nightmare simultaneously. 

 

With all eyes on the second Mayoral election: the Commonwealth government and the Owynsburg citizenry braced for the return to normal.  Normal would never come however, with grotesque vote rigging and political violence engulfing the Commonwealth. Two assassination attempts was made at a mayoral candidate, and party officials from both sides sowed accidental chaos through their conflicting lobbying efforts. The executive branch had enough, witnessing their pearl of civil participation defiled by the chaos of ever encroaching rivalries. With the establishment of the new Commonwealth Participatory Government: they sought to capitalize on the opportunity of a newfound era, and reform the former House of Commons into a worthy and stable democratic instrument: The Commonwealth Parliament.

 

MANDATE OF THE COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENT

 

The Electoral Commission will invite legislators, peers and influential citizens alike to partake in the reform of both the House of Commons and the House of Electors. This temporary expansion of the Electoral Commission will cease once the reforms are finished.  After both Houses are reformed, it is hoped that proper Constitutional reform can finally begin. 

 

HOUSE OF COMMONS: 

The open assembly of the House of Commons had disappointing results for both the government and its people: proving nothing but chaotic and exclusive, reminding the elder citizens of the days of the Ves assembly. The Commonwealth Government will opt for a return to elected seats. A smaller House, where representatives can legislate on behalf of their respective electorates. 

 

HOUSE OF ELECTORS:

While it stayed a functional institution despite the chaos of yesteryear, the Commonwealth had welcomed new peers and now befalls under the jurisdiction of the House of Lords. With some minor reforms and modernization: not only do we hope to make it a complimentary addition to our democratic statecraft, but to make it a proper chamber where our peers can gather.

 

With this we hope to recover from our dark day of democracy, and usher the Commonwealth into the era of prosperity it had worked towards since the ascension of the Governor-General.

Gawain appluads the Premier for his work. Yet finds it funny that he claims the commons legislative branch to be chaotic, ‘exclusive’ and a disappointment. When he himself acted as the self-imposed Speaker of the House, meaning he was empowered to prevent any of this from happening.
