Tsargrad - The new Imperial Committee on State Reforms has gone to work. Chaired by KDU lawmaker Mika Nestorovski the new committee will be tasked with the evaluation of Deltaria's current electoral system, its organization of national power and its legislative process. A initiative by the ruling SSD, the committee consists of five SSD lawmakers and five lawmakers from the remaining parties in the chamber of deputies. Nestorovski has been chosen as its chairman due to his seniority, being the longest serving deputy amongst the deputies in the committee.
Several proposals have already been floated in the media over the last few weeks, primarily focussed around the expansion of the number of seats in the lower house and the reform or abolition of the senate. Importantly, the KDU has been oppossed to any reforms of the senate, fearing a breakdown of authority for the monarch who still has powers of appointment within the body. Already, the party sees the body as weak and susceptible to chamber override. The SSD meanwhile advocated for reform of the senate, seeking to replace the Czar appointed members with directly elected ones. A increase of seats in the lower house is seen as a logical step by all parties, as the population grows and the government seeks to better represent the people. Parties are still not unanimous in the exact amount of seats however, with the SSD promoting a significant increase while the Liberal Savez! seeks only a minor increase.
Prime Minister Lazarescu himself has also argued for discussions on the role of the Czar in government. On paper, the Czar holds massive sway in day to day politics and could at any time appoint a new Prime Minister, dissolve the chamber of deputies or veto any law without the potential for a override. Lazarescu has argued that especially on the issue of overrides the lower chamber should be able to override a Czarist veto if a 2/3rd majority can be reached. Naturally, the KDU is stricly oppossed to the idea, arguing that the current Czar Vjekoslav I has yet to once use his reserve powers and that these powers is what keeps tyranical governments from taking shape.
Nestorovski outlined the process for the ICSR, explaining that the committee will hear oral and written arguments from experts and political parties in the coming months and will consult with the Ministry of Domestic Affairs on the potentials of reform. The committee expects to present its report at the end of next year.
