[DRAFT] Ecclesia Minister Nominations Ammendment

Ecclesia Drafts
1

Author’s summary: the Ecclesia will nominate a slate of candidates to lead each ministry. The Minister-President would then appoint their cabinet ministers from among the nominated candidates

Benefits:

  • Easier to join government: currently, Ministers tend to remain the same between different administrations. While experience in government is awesome, it also means that new players with fun and innovative new ideas don’t have an easy way to get involved. This sytem would hopefully make it easier for them to do just that.
  • Transparent and Popular agenda: by forcing candidates to campaign, elections hold Ministers accountable to the region and lets voters understand the views of each of their Ministers’ views.
  • Maintains government unity: by continuing to let the Minister-President appoint their cabinet, the Ministers will continue to have a common vision even if campaigned separately.

Hereby adds Chapter IV to The Electoral Code:
