Perhaps this should be put to the vote, however, a third of the current population is in Parliament.

I personally prefer a constitution because I believe it is more organized, but if the majority want a statue of laws I will support it

an uncodified constitution, such as the UK Constitution allows for more fluid movement, but does it also allow for easy corruption?

We can do what we always thought was the impossible
I think it comes down to the 'layout of powers'. Firstly, MPs will be governed by a Statue Act like the Constitution. Secondly the Monarch and various other bodies will be laid out fully in detail first similar to that within Statue first before we have any major alterations. It also begs the question, could we draft, pass Laws and allow for a solid foundation before elections since we are so relatively new but gage public opinion before any major changes? I think democracy would permit this would it not since we are only a small starting out region.

I think at this point we need a solid base that structures our government, if you could provide us with any drafts it would be greatly appreciated Mr. Franklin

Whilst this Parliament has no mandate given to them by the people, the King has appointed you to establish the basis of the Parliamentary and Judicial systems, to create basic legislation that will be built on my successive Parliaments. This Parliament has the most important job in establishing the boundaries and the relationship between the people, Government and the Monarch.

At least, that is the view of the LCJ.

Indeed and I intend to help build on those successes and foundations once a solid structure is set :)

I shall publish shortly :) *But, if anyone is interested in GB&Ireland then be my guest, it's an archive now. But still hosts everything that i've said based off of it*

Well Mr Franklin, if at any point files from the archive of GB&I become useful to you explaining your stance, then I am more than happy for you to bring them over as evidence :)

I think before we go any further, we must decide in what form this will be in. I do not think that we need an entire civilian referendum to decide this. We are Parliamentarians for a purpose. Our job is to legislate for the people, not to constantly turn the legislating over to them.

I honestly believe that the Statue would be much easier to use, and a more organized system. Once a constitution is passed it seems to get in the way of other legislation. Constantly having to amend it, and to understand how your bill may possibly effect it.

So, I think we should hold a vote. Do I have a second?
