Petition to amend the Meta Constitution to make membership automatic for meta and canon officeholders.

After β€œregistration form” in Part 1 (2) (3) insert:

Or if they:

>(a) Hold a meta office,
>
>(b) Are a parliamentarian,
>
>(c) Or holds a party constitutionally recognised office in a party registered with the AEC.

 

We should make it easier to be a member of the sim, its just too annoying and there is no point for us to have to renew every three months when we are clearly active members that are contributing to the sim actively, this amendment will make everyone who holds an office in meta, parliament, or in a position outlined by a party constitution registered with the AEC a member of the sim.

Not a single Republican officeholder who has objected to Biden’s victory has challenged the results of their own wins. Does this give you pause?

These Republicans won election or re-election on the same day, using the same ballots, using the same election systems. Is there an explanation for this discrepancy?

Additionally, I haven’t heard a satisfactory explanation for why Democrats would rig the presidential election but not, say, Senate elections as well

2020 Election Map if it Mirrored Current Gubernatorial Officeholders

(I'll preface by saying this wasn't particularly high effort, but I found it interesting nonetheless.)

Basically, I took the current party which holds the governorship in each state and mapped that as if these results had occurred in the 2020 election. I understand this scenario is HIGHLY unlikely, but I think that the interest in this map is how it highlights the differences between gubernatorial and national races.

https://preview.redd.it/25oeqs98frf61.png?width=1804&format=png&auto=webp&s=85384203ae967c8ea250fd0e8af91232c67d55e8

What's further interesting is that Biden would gain a modest three states: Kansas, Kentucky, and North Carolina, but Trump would gain twice as many: Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont, resulting in a net negative of 3 states for Biden. Ultimately Biden still would have still won the presidency, but by a narrower margin (ignoring Nebraska and Maine's split delegations) of 288 EC votes, an 18 vote deficit from his actual total of 306 votes.

Petition: Officeholder electoral system

#I hereby move the following constitutional amendments

Changing the threshold

In Section 7, subsections 6 and 7 (Appointment of Moderators):

> Replace "65%" with "65% + 1 vote"

Changing the electoral system

In Section 4:

  • Remove (3)(c)
  • Remove (7) and the subsequent example

Insert the following after Section 4, Subsection 6 and renumber accordingly:

> Voting Systems

> (7) Meta referendums shall utilise the following voting systemβ€”

>  (a) for the election of officeholders where there are more candidates than positions available, Single Transferrable Vote (STV)/Instant-Runoff Voting (IRV); and

>  (b) for all other meta referendums, Approval Voting.


So, we're doing a Head Mod election again... Feels like this is relevant! I think it'd make it easier for us to achieve a consensus if we utilise preferential voting systems, allowing voters to rank candidates that they support whilst also allowing them to give no preference to one or more candidates. I've also left the threshold at 65%, or rather 65% + 1 vote for clarity, which means that the final candidate still requires more than a simple majority to be elected. I'm open to lowering this to 50% + 1 but I know that some feel that this isn't high enough, and I believe those concerns are founded. Anyway, feel free to second if you agree or ask questions below ig?
