Basically, instead of all Erb being counted for votes, you have to convert 100 Erb into 1 Voting Credit, and it's the number of Voting Credits that determines your vote's weighting. This thus stops encouraging hoarding. I'm not sure about 3b but figured it better to just say "no transfers". If you want to help another Duchy, you can always buy votes for them. This way, money keeps flowing.Procedures of Landsraad 3. Voting
A.
1. After a bill has been presented, there is a period of exactly four days (96 hours) during which the members of the Landsraad can vote on it. Each member has one vote with a value outlined below, which he or she may cast in any unambiguous way to represent a vote of aye or nay, on any bill during the voting period. A vote only applies to a bill exactly as it has been presented. At the end of the period, the Praetor counts the votes, announces the result, and if the weighting of the ayes outnumber the weighting of the nays, updates the LawBook with the changes.
2. The weighting of a vote in The Landsraad shall be pegged to the amount of Voting Credits held by each Duchy, such that each Ducal vote cast counts as as many votes as the number of Voting Credits held by the Duchy. Only Dukes have a voting right in the Landsraad, either Aye or Nay.
3. Voting Credits shall be sold by the Ministry of Trade for 100 erb each. The Ministry of Trade shall maintain an up to date list at all times.
a. Voting Credits may be purchased by any citizen for any Duchy, as long as the Duchy is stated at time of purchase.
b. Voting Credits may not be transferred between Duchies.
4. The Ducal voting shall be public, and the amount of Voting Credits in each Duchy shall be tabled at the start of each vote. Only the amount of Voting Credits held at the start of voting may be counted towards that vote.
B.
1. Voting Credits are not terminated at the end of each vote, but may be reused.
2. Upon reaching the Procedures of the Landsraad this system shall be on trial for one month. At the end of that month, the Praetor shall call a vote on whether the system should be revoked. The voting for that vote shall be One Duke, One Vote, so the outcome shall not be skewed in favour of those already benefited by the economy. If that vote passes, this clause shall be removed from the Procedures of the Landsraad and the system continue indefinitely.
3. Each Duchy shall initially start with 1 Voting Credit.
EDIT: I'd forgotten to put in the clause trialling this for a month. After a month we can see if its helping, harming, or indifferent. After trialling it we'd also have some idea whether it's worth, as Erik suggests, removing some per Voting Credits each month, and any other necessary changes. I'll say now that if the system basically works but needs some changes, we'd vote to keep it, then vote for the changes .... but I'm putting the trial clause in to keep those who dislike any voting basis to our economy happy.
