Landsraad proceedures

- Amendments to the Landsraad procedures for preferential voting (traditionally used for things like electing the Praetor). I could take an evening to write something to tally votes and do the calculations for Condorcet voting so the Praetor doesn't have to do them manually, but we would need at least some vague kind of a legal description of the voting method anyway. We don't have to use Condorcet, of course, though I do tend to be quite fond of it myself.

- Amendments to the Landsraad procedures for presenting and passing bills that do not change the Lawbook. Or, alternatively, giving treaties, honorary citizenships, awards, MCS claims, statements of opinion, etc. a place in the Lawbook, though that sounds a bit implausible even if they wouldn't all need to go in the same Wiki page.
Let me clarify. My preference is for unitary voting, with the requirement of a majority to pass, even if that involves run-offs.

That being said, not being a Duke, this is properly "Proceedure of the Landsraad" stuff. I will not meddle.

I propose the traditional and effective ranked election system.

And I agree we need to better deal with non-perminent bills, at least in writing. We already do it in practice.
