Reply #61: The request of the PM

[DrGonzoLives]

And there's the problem. If the President and PM are in collusion, bam, there goes Congress when the President gets a little pissy. And while it's all well and good to require regular reports, those are pretty much required now to be submitted to appropriate Congressional committees; most of those testimonies (the ones not related to national security) are indeed open to the public, and the public, by and large, doesn't care.

This isn't really creating a more open process, it's just adding more representatives, allowing a very select body to meet in secret to determine the leader of the country, and requiring more testimony than is now given, of which 90% will likely be ignored.

Furthermore, in regards to the Senate under this setup, the entire point of the Senate was to provide a body wherein each state has an equal voice. By allowing districts and proportional representation, you've essentially just turned it into House II, with larger constituencies.
