(Answer) (Category) The Reality Sculptors "Faq-O-Matic" : (Category) "Laws We'd Like To See" :
The Party Selection Amendment
To permit government to be both effective and responsible, there shall be one legislature, which shall also act as the supreme aribiter of law, and which shall select from its members to head the administration of government.
Members of the legislature shall be selected from the parties selected by the citizens, in proportion to their votes, from a preference list determined by each party.
Laws shall be enacted by a majority of the legislature.
If the legislature has an even number of members, it shall select a chancellor to wield a tie-breaking vote.
The legislature shall select an administration by majority agreement of its members. If any three members of the caucus, or a majority of the members or the populace at large agree, the administration must be reselected. If no administration can be formed within thirty days, new general elections shall occur.
(Note that if the body votes using the australian preference method, it will be much more able to form administrations because runoffs will occur automatically, without discussions.
The single legislature makes the group far more accountable than a bicameral group.)
