message: If anyone has the time to do this I found a site that has a list of every unicameral and bicameral chamber, so if you have the time could you expand the list of examples.

thread_title:  Site to Expand List of Examples 

message: Surely an article on unicameralism ought to be primarily about unicameral legislatures?  This one is mostly about the USA (which clearly does not have a unicameral legislature).  It is interesting to discuss whether a particular bicameral legislature is in some ways "really" unicameral, but such a debate belongs in the article for that legislature, rather than this article.  Where are the detailed descriptions of how things work in New Zealand or Portugal? And where is the discussion of the merits of the role of appointed experts in an upper chamber, or regional representatives in the Bundesrat, or whether a longer electoral term in an upper chamber enables its members to operate above the day-to-day political hurly-burly?  (I may address these myself in due course)

message: Much of this subsection is irrevalant to an article on unicameralism.  It's mainly about US state structure and the structure of most states upper house (the inclusion of Reynolds v. Sims is completely lost) The only valid point to unicamerilism this subsection seems makes is to note that Nebraska is the only state with a unicameral.

replies: text: I've taken the paragraph on Reynolds v. Sims out because it is about the general structure of state legislatures in the US, a point that does not pretain to unicameralism.  Omahapubliclibrary (talk) 22:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

message: What on earth is with the crap about 'weak regional identitity' being associated with unicameralism? I'm deleting the statement as it is clearly not NPOV. 130.217.188.50 (talk) 09:40, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not an absoulte statement, but merely state that it may come about for this reason. I've restored it per the Bold, Revert, discuss principle, so please build a consesus to remove this before doing so again. - BilCat (talk) 10:33, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: A reference supporting it may help if it can be found. Could it perhaps be rephrased along the lines of a homogenous culture / homogenous national identity? That would be a bit less harsh and hence seen as more NPOV. Thoughts? 129.78.233.211 (talk) 00:11, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Given that the House of Lords' legislative power has been almost entirely eliminated, rendering its votes a mere formality, wouldn't the UK Parliament be considered a de facto unicameral legislature? 75.76.213.106 (talk) 11:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: no the let's call it imbalance of power does not change that there are two chambers. Germany is on the list, too. Although many Germans wouldn't call the Bundesrat (Federal Council) a second chamber (a half chamber at best) either  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.5.184.243 (talk) 11:38, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

message: "Some countries with unicameral legislatures are often small and homogeneous unitary states and consider an upper house or second chamber unnecessary." Some are often? And the others are seldom?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.14.173.51 (talk) 13:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

message: The Islamic Republic of Mauritania has recently switched to a unicameral legislature per the passing of a referendum in 2017. This page and the corresponding map should reflect the changes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.110.241.134 (talk) 03:56, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I think it is misleading to lump all bicameral states into one category, since it's common in bicameral legislatures for one chamber to be the dominant chamber, like in Canada, the UK, Japan, and most of continental Europe.  In some weak bicameral legislatures, like Canada, the upper house rarely even uses all of its constitutional powers. 
It would be helpful to show on the map which systems have strong bicameralism (eg, the US) and which systems have weak bicameralism.

message: It's rather misleading to say that China is Unicameral. The CPPCC is an advisory upper chamber consciously modelled on the House of Lords. It doesn't have the same formal powers as the Lords, but then the whole Chinese System works rather differently, to put it mildly! NBeale (talk) 20:10, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
