WHAT CAN U SAY ABOUT THE MAJORITY OF THE CONGRESS TODAY AFTER HB 1450?

[talsik]

---

We’re beginning to wonder about destroying the old, oppressive structure and creating a new, and hopefully more liberating political system.” Regional representation is just a bigger-version district representation.

the word destroying is a bit harsh term bai suma.. reform may be better.

Instead of congressmen, why not send provincial executives to the House? That way, appropriations will go directly to the province to be spent according to the priorities set by those who were elected to manage the province in the first place.

There’s nothing a congressman can do that a provincial executive can’t do and isn’t in a better position to do. Ask any governor if what I’m saying is true or not.

I don't think the Governors are the right man for the job. To legislate for the national and to attend to the needs of the province are too broad task that does not only require expertise but time and focus....One point worth considering is that when such will be allowed it is not impossible that everything will just be good in the start there will be no genuine administration of both affairs.

Let’s eliminate the redundancies in our system. We don’t need to add regional districts to a tiny country already burdened by more than two hundred congressional districts. There are too many fingers in the cookie jar. One province-one representative is good enough.

Got a point there. The rationale why representation in Congress is based on the population and not on the province is that to provide equal representation. The larger population has to be represented proportionately. This is not redundancy as i see it.

You say Productive

LIFTING TERM limits........... Do you want the same congressman to represent a disctrict until HE/SHE is in the HOSPITAL ICU(Intensive Care Unit)

Term LIMITS give others a chance to serve the people...........

If TERM LIMITS are removed.... ABUSES will Happen........

Is that PRODUCTIVE??


Two houses are better than one.......... ITs a system of checks and balance....

And that is better than NO CHECKS at ALL............


Productive is not by how many BILLS you pass....... ITS QUALITY rather than QUANTITY....


No TO PARLIAMENT......

No TO lifting of TERM LIMITS......

^OT bro talsik:

if I were you, I won't give importance and quote sumaganday's posts unless it is HIS OWN IDEAS and not somebody else's.

here's one very glaring example:

here's his post,

Congressmen are district-oriented, they don’t spend their pork barrel outside their constituency. To be fair, it’s not their fault that they’re parochial, it’s a system requirement.

But pork-barrel spending by congressmen is a waste of money when it does not fit a province’s overall development plan and a redundancy when it does. “Creating a new political system” means replacing the district representative system with a more efficient form of representation.

Instead of congressmen, why not send provincial executives to the House? That way, appropriations will go directly to the province to be spent according to the priorities set by those who were elected to manage the province in the first place.

@ omad:

biliba nako nimo ba, imo man ma trace. Blogger ka bro. Anyway, its not my intention to claim someones work. But I guess it would have more impact if you try to make it appear as your own. Kay kung ako butangan ug link, no one will bother to read because it came from an anti government blog.

But no dili ko ing ana ka evil nga mangopya ug work sa uban. Its just that wa nay impact if mahibaw-an nga gikan na sa usa ka blog kay i stereotype dayun nga anti government.

But I am happy you know uniffors.
