[DRAFT] Bring Back the Upper House?

[Glayji]

I have decided against this but if anyone wants to use this they can use it without asking me
Note this is a early draft and will be expanded later and is short for right now due to time and i want other people to have a opition on how it should be I am not sure if their is a issue like this or not and writing may not be as well as it should be

[name] Bring back the Upper House?

[validity] Nations that do not have a upper house

[description] Because the upper housewas abolished in @@NAME@@ several effects have been notice including fewer voters and less members in the house several members of the House have proposed that the upper house should be brought back

[option] " Repersentative @@RANDOMNAME@@ says I think it is important for democracy that a upper house be created because it would have more Representatives and there would be a check on bills before they are sent to @@LEADER@@ for signing
[effect] The Upper House would be created and political freedom would decrease and government size would increase and taxes would also increase

[option]
Representative @@RANDOMNAME@@ says we do not need a upper house because we have enough Representatives and that the house is already a check on bills and that it is Democratic enough
[effect] The upper house would not be created and everything would stay the same

[option] @@RANDOMNAME@@ says While i support the idea for a upper house i believe that it would be costly to make a upper house but how about we elect more representatives
[effect] The upper house would not be created but more representatives would be added causing the government size to increase and taxes to increase but not as much as if the upper house was created

I do commend your initiative, taking on the notorious upper-house abolishment reversal!

However, your issue is only asking if @@LEADER@@ would like to consider reversing a decision. Reversal issues are tricky, in part because they must derive their story from consequences of the decision you intend to reverse, rather than the decision itself.

They should look something like this;

[The Issue]- The (Upper House) was abolished in @@NAME@@. As a result, (noteworthy consequence) happened.

1-Address the consequence
2-Address the consequence in a different way
3-Reverse the decision (Reinstate Upper House)

They should not look like this;

[The Issue]- Some people think (Abolishing the Upper House) was misguided. They have called on you to reconsider the decision.

1-Reverse the decision (Reinstate Upper House)
2-Don’t reverse the decision, make the situation even crazier.

Do you plan on describing the difference between an upper and lower house

[Ghost Land]

There should be a "keep it the same" option, and how exactly does creating an upper house increase political freedom? I'd think if anything, it would increase government size and taxes and decrease political freedom, as an extra layer of bureaucracy in the way.

I have updated the draft to resolve some of the issues

Let editors figure out the stats.

Sorry, but it still needs work. It's not very clear how abolishing the upper house caused lower voter turnout or why "less members in the house" is a problem.

Also, your effect lines look more like stat suggestions. Effect lines are the things that appear on people's nation page after they've answered the issue, like so:

39 days ago: Following new legislation in USS Monitor, the government loves seeing the little people fight.

They should be funny if possible, and they are not complete sentences. You don't need to include the "Following new legislation" part, just the line that appears at the end.

Alternative title suggestion: 'One House Good, Two Houses Better'.

(In case you don't get the reference, It's a joking adaptation of a line from George Orwell's book 'Animal Farm'.)
