Preamble: []
“If it pleases the Chamber, I wish to present a motion regarding State Parliaments. Personally I disagree strongly with a Unicameral Parliament system, it allows many radical parties quickly seize power and allow for very volatile and unconsidered motions to be spread through the democratic process without being given adequate time for public opinion or external scrutiny of said proposals. As such I view it a necessity for States to have the legal right to transform themselves from a Unicameral to a Bicameral Parliament system if they so please. Such is my proposal to the Chamber.” – Danny Alexander, Liberal Democratic Alliance MP.
