Seeing that forming a majority government may be more difficult than we first thought, it might be a good idea, as our first act of parliament, to pass an amendment that makes forming a minority government possible.
Here's my proposal:
Amendment I. Minority Governments
How does parliament like it?
I know there's the possibility of a tie, but I don't really have a good solution than that, other than flipping a coin.
Also, I was thinking about adding another line that prohibited MPs from voting yes for more than one proposed government, but I didn't know if everyone would be happy with that.
Here's my proposal:
Amendment I. Minority Governments
- If 5 days have gone by since the elected MPs have been seated and no government has been formed, a special period of parliament begins that serves to create a minority government. During this period, Party Leaders or MPs may introduce government forming legislations. This introductory period lasts for 48 hours. After the introductory period ends, all proposed governments are put up to vote. The voting period lasts for 72 hours. After the voting period ends, the proposed government that gets the most votes becomes the acting government.
- If any other legislation forming a government is passed during either the introductory or voting periods, a minority government may not be formed.
