-The Parliamentary Process Act of 526AER-

Here within the Empire we have a broken system, we support majority rule but then in our laws we specify a specific limit that is more than 50% to pass laws. This is not the way forward nor is it the way of a Parliamentary System. Another broken system within the Parliamentary System is Abstentions, whoever conceived the idea that abstentions count against a motion must have been loopy. But then again given the broken system that exists it is not hard to see why this system has been twisted the way it has. This motion is aimed to correct these 2 flaws.
==Clauses:==
I. All laws that are proposed to the Chamber of Deputies no longer require 55% of the total seats to support, mearly a simple majority from the parties that have voted.
II. Any party that does not vote within the 48 hour time limit will be classed as an abstention.
III. Abstentions no longer count against a motion, they now will serve to discount the party that declares to be abstaining from the final tally of votes.
IV. Any move that requires a set percentage other than passing laws (Votes of No Confidence, Constitutional Changes etc.) still retain their boundaries for success.
// OOC: This move will make every parties vote matter as it is now mearly a majority of seats that vote in support so if 1 large party does not then an entire motion can pass or fail meaning it becomes even more important for parties to vote. Also this makes the Parliament more in-line with real parliaments and the procedure of legislation since it is primarily a simple majority of those present at the vote to pass things.
