Kava's Policy Platform: Rejuvenating the General Assembly

If elected to the General Assembly:

1. I will propose legislation abolishing term limits for MGAs, to be implemented if the GA gets 8 or fewer candidates in the September General Election. Ideally, this condition would not be met, but if it is, we cannot restrict those that have shown dedication to the GA from continuing to serve, especially if doing so would result in another uncompetitive election like the one that has just occurred.

2. I have plans to write and propose significant reforms to the NSLeft Solidarity Pact during this term. I will also be writing legislation to keep our governmental system compatible with these changes, if any is necessary.

3. I believe that part of the lack of interest in legislating is due to a perceived difficulty in actually writing legislation. I will therefore offer to the public my knowledge and help in writing legislation. This will not only increase the number of proposals going through the GA, but will also give hesitant would-be legislators the confidence and ability that they need to start contributing to the GA independently.

   1. I also promise to act as signatory to any legislation written as a result of this project, if it comes from outside of the GA.
      

4. I will post regularly (possibly every two weeks, but feedback on this would be appreciated) to the RMB asking the community to contact me with any ideas that they want to see turned into law. I commit to this so that Assemblians can see my continued dedication to this cause throughout the term, and hold me accountable if I fail to do so.
   

I hope that our community decides, in light of these policies, to honour me with the opportunity to continue to improve things for Assemblians, and chooses to elect me as a Member of the General Assembly in this upcoming by-election.

Unity in Diversity! A Better GA for a Better Assembly!
