Dilute the rights of the people? The buildings don’t vote, but the building owners (who are people) do. And since these individuals supply 90% of all CoH taxes and invest millions into the city it is only fair that they have a vote as well. That includes building owners located on Court Street as well (before you start using the Front St benefit argument).

You are right though, it is a separate issue than the reforms proposed in the above press release, but it is arguably related nonetheless.

It doesn’t. You made that bit up. Before suggesting other people look up definitions, you should read the article you are commenting on.

I would like to see the list of proposed reforms expanded to include campaign financing, proportional representation (perhaps along the lines of the Scottish system, of mixed first-past-the-post and proportional representation?) and either the abolishing of the Senate or making it elected.

Would also like to see changes to the parliament itself. Away from the oppositional current format and to a more consensus-based semi-circle, set times for votes and more regular sittings, rather than marathon late night sessions where our MPs vote in a mix of boredom and sleep deprivation.

By the way, is this a first, that is for the Senate to sit before the House of Assembly? What was on the Order Paper?

We are going to change the constitution because of a narrow political victory. Seems a bit crazy to me.
