People thinking NS is meant to be efficient lmfao.
It's meant to be fun, and having two chambers is more fun because it is inefficient.

hello
Indian genius, The Islamic Country of Honour, Orsily, and Swedish-norwegian kingdoms
To expand:
(1) Unicameralism will revolve along one chamber having 18-20 members depending on what we want (this is one of the unicameralism partisans' saying btw). This means
(a) More people to debate, so more likely more voices to be heard, and more time required for debate (as having an equal debate time to what the House/Senate have would not be enough)
(b) More people to vote, so more time needed on voting.
(c) The overall shows more time is required for everything, yet less time will be given to a bill/amendment than we would have if we had two chambers (because it circulates between them, and inbetween the debates and votes there also is inter chamber discussions and stuff talked with the citizens on discord)
(2) Unicameralism is one chamber, therefore you lose
(a) The double-checking two chambers offer. This is what allowed me and other citizens to fix/strike down laws that were horrible (NORB comes to mind as the biggest one).
(b) The divide of duties between chambers. Yes, the House and Senate have almost the same powers, but one confirming the Cabinet, the other confirming the Justices and both confirming the EC (again that idea of double-checking) is one such divide of duties that seem important. How would a unicameralist chamber with so many bills and stuff to go through also do cabinet confirmations, EC confirmations while it could also have midterms just like the House?
(c) This leads us to ask whether or not the unicameralist chamber should have midterms.
(d) Then there's the issue of doing one thing at a time, and the time limitations of debates and votes. If you have one chamber, you must be allowed to do several things at a time and have a longer debate time than 5 days (8 days with amendments).
(3) Having one big chamber isn't fun.
(a) As Cerdenia said, the unique dynamic of having two chambers is just better for what Thaecia aims to be.
(b) Do you really want to be a member of an unicameralist chamber after what I have said above? Being in a crowded, time-lacking, publicly-pressured to go fast, etc. body that one chamber would be?
In the end if you want an unicameral legislature, you'd need to:
(1) Have it the size of the actual House at max.
(2) Amend the procedures to allow longer and several debates and votes at once.
(3) Stop the public pressure to always do business fast.
And I would 100% be for that. That'd be more efficient yet also keep the quality of stuff proposed since more debate time means more people can get ahold of it, the legislators really take time to make their mind, and get more feedback from the citizens. Question is whether or not people would be ready to take such drastic changes in addition to the change in the legislature's shape.
Note: I am applying this reasoning to Thaecia, and only Thaecia. I personally prefer another type than bicameralism on NS (ie EIA's Senate), but ah.

Re: the poll.
No, not because I don't think it'll work or that it's a bad idea, no because I just don't have the time to really engage in RP.

My only choice for me to rp in Thaecia is on site forums
- Almost all Offsite forums need emails
- I don't have discord

Sorry for the double post, but FAM update! Hope you read and give an upzoot.
Hello Thaecia, a new General Assembly proposal has been brought upon us!
Recommendation: AGAINST
Recommendation: AGAINST
Reasoning
Acknowledging that the goals of this proposal is clear and reachable, it's method to seize said goals is another story. Although we approve that we need to change for the environment, regulating all businesses is not exactly the best way to enforce waste management and to strive for a cleaner, more environment-friendly world.
We recommend that you vote AGAINST "Long-term Storage of Produced Waste".
