[Proposal] Assembly Procedure Act

[Wymondham]

First off, I heavily disagree with the proposed format, it's needlessly complicated, the format I provided is more general and is easy to grasp, following the format of our constitution too much will only make bills harder to draft.

I also dislike the fact that debate increases according to the votes necessary to pass it, but not all proposals are equal. For example, a constitutional amendment to fix a grammar or spelling mistake does not require as much discussion as other forms of amendments. 

Additionally, you have no written procedures for any motions, or even a list of some basic motions, aside from a motion to vote, which is just bad practice in any legislative system.

I object to Article II, Sections 3 and 4. Section 3 is needlessly restrictive, and is unnecessary due to the fact that these matters would have to go to the delegate regardless, and be approved by the delegate. Section 4 gives the Speaker way to much power.

There is no way to help prevent the stacking of votes, which my proposal actually includes as well. 

Also why the hell are Deputies voted on? I see no purpose in voting on them, except for some unexplained reason that 'voting is good', yet you fail to provide any written procedure on confirmations and the like.

Simple is good, but when it comes to procedural rules, things need to be spelled out explicitly when possible. Also poll voting is just no.

I fundamentally disagree with your argument that the propose format is needlessly restrictive. I argue that Cormac's proposed format would mean that all laws maintain a uniform standard which would make laws much easier for newcomers to understand as all laws would then have the same format and as such be easier to follow.
