Quote from: Senate and Court Membership Act
1. The Senate will consist of at least three senators. Two senators will be added to its membership for every thirty registered citizens beyond the first forty-five, up to a maximum membership of eleven senators.

2. The Court will consist of at least one justice. Two justices will be added to its member for every sixty registered citizens beyond the first thirty, up to a maximum membership of five justices.

1 vote would be enough to make this referendum valid btw, so it is going to pass.

Eh, not too comfortable with the hard cap on Senator numbers, but if it becomes a problem it can always be changed.  Aye and stuff.

I put the absolute barrier on because I was worried the preferential nature of STV might make elections a bit unwieldy at larger sizes. My secret evil plan is that if Taijitu grows that much, parties will be well established enough that I can get us to switch over to the simpler proportional system of open party-list voting >.>

Hardly secret, and anything but evil.
