Default Re: Your Views on a world Government

a good form of government would be a Dual-Monarchy/Dual-House state: 2 Kings/Queens, a Senate and a Deputy Chamber

The Kings/Queens are not hereditary, but choosen randomly by computer from all citizens that: 1) Are old enough, 2) Donīt have mental diseases or inbalances in judgement, 3) Donīt have any criminal record; 4) Never exerced or disputed any elective function in government. The computers would select several candidates that would be presented to the Deputy Chamber, that will chose one among them to be the new King/Queen.

The executive government would be exerced by the Kings/Queens in alternate ways: 1 king is chief executive for 5 years, then the other one assumes for more 5 years, then the first one govern again and so on...

The Senate, with a a two-thirds majority, can retire one of the kings/queens and start the (random) process of selecting another king/queen, the king/queen also retire obligatorily at reaching the age of 75.

All laws must be proposed either by the Senate or by the Deputy Chamber and must be aproved by simple majority in both houses. The Kings cannot propose laws but can veto any law proposed, the veto can be nullified by a two-thirds majority vote in both Senate and deputy chamber.

Both kings have a fixated salary based in a percentual of the global taxes that can never be modified by the Senate, Deputy Chamber or by the Kings themselves.

more to come...
