Tell us the numbers in the upper and lower houses, how the balance be effected by the indiependents? and who will these indepedents compromise of?
...in my Cyprus, the Upper House of the Legislature has one seat Maronite, two seats Armenian, 50 seats Turkish, and 50 seats Greek. to lead, a President must hold a majority of these seats. therefore, Parties will form around leaders who represent Principals important Universally.
a Lower House also exists. their benefit to the State is the power they hold as sober second thinkers, voting on Bills passed by the Upper House through their Speaker, by consesus. their debate a Public review of the Committees' (in which they hold seats) efforts in making Legislation; for Citizens, regardless the majority in the Upper House, transparency. at a subtle level, the Independant Representative truly is, a representative of their riding, someone these electors hold in esteem personally, rather than the Principals Parties represent. these Individuals may go on to be Politicians in the Upper House, it is hoped from their experience in the Lower House, that they will have a deeper appreciation of their roots.
the voter therefore is confronted by several different Slates of Candidates, having one vote to make on each Slate, the Parties compete by offering to these Constituencies on all the Slates (or whatever portion they are able) Candidates. in this manner the seats are filled by election where they can be seen to be Fair, even if voters can take advatage, by voting strategically (all for the same Party, or seperately because of particular Policy they support, or by the actual Candidate).
...it is not tricky, ask your questions clearly, this is Good Government, when there is debate.
But, to the Administrators, i feel sorry. i feel compelled to respond because the Freedom of Cyprus is important to me, i regret that i am off topic, i hope you(they) may kindly move us to a topic like, my manifesto thingy, warn us or advise us to move, so that this thread for example, can maintain its relevance as about Bagis and Clowns. no offence vp, seriously, read my manifesto, be there. think 11 million people, (even if it is 200 years from now) what will we do?
