Amendment to the Constitution
-
"Thank you very much and I agree with the retiming it definitely would speed the old girl up, however I'm unsure why a simple majority if 55% and not 50%? I agree with it's addition for clarity not necessarily the numerical value"
-
"Simple majority has always been 55%. I'm just specifying it."

"Historically, the 55% rule has been used to avoid Tyranny by Majority, and Tyranny by Minority. It has served its purpose well, and a few acts have indeed failed to obtain a majority using the 55% rule, those acts being particularly controversial. "
