Mandate all new laws and bills can only be a maximum of 3-5 pages, that's it. Is it really that stupid that all you need to do is limit the printer so that they can't flood you with paper trying to hide things?
This was brought on from the recent omnibus bill and if it's just because they flood the system late that they keep getting things through.
Some bills would be too complicated to have in just a few pages.
Then multiple bills, pass each one on a certain issue and topic, break them down to each component. I'm through giving the benefit of the doubt of 'this is a complex issue, that's why we made this a thousand pages to go through each issue'
That is entirely the point you stupid foreigner.
Except that it would not stop them from passing complicated laws, they would just be truncated and (perhaps) worse, you stupid foreigner.
Fuck off Tony, you ain't no American.
Always wondered why people don't speak English when I go outside. Now I know why.
This is correct. In some cases (though by no means all), this would lead to more trouble than it's worth. E.g. if you leave out definitions or specifics, it doesn't mean that there will be no definition or specifics, but that someone else will decide.
Most laws are a phrase or two, maybe a paragraph at most. And then seven thousand pages of case law and refining definitions.
"A purchasing contract is an agreement to provide a good or service from one party to another in exchange for a good, service, or currency in return."
Transforms into basically the entirety of tort law as a system. What if you buy as a third party, what if a third party is injured, what if this, what if that, until that simple one-phrase definition is a whole school of law.
...And then because each of those add-ons needed a court case, The People demand the laws be more comprehensive at the start, and you're back where you started with bloated bills.
