Cerulean Coalition talks political reform

The debating chamber of the Imperial Parliament
The majority party in the Imperial Parliament, with its 155 seats, the Cerulean Coalition, has unveiled its agenda for reforming the infrastructure of the country's political and electoral infrastructure. In his speech, Parliamentary Whip for the Ceruleans said: "It is time that we abandon constituency based politics and focus on giving each individual voter the same say in the formation of the government" going on to detail his party's proposal to adopt the proportionally representative method found commonly in Scanian democracies.
The Cerulean Parliamentary Whip also went on to state that the Government was wanting to establish an independent election commission, which would be fully empowered to carry out its functions with full transparency to avoid the cases of fraud and electoral rigging reported in some areas during the previous election. The Cerulean agenda also covers measures that will allow the national elections, scheduled for 1955, to be held on one day rather than in the usual staggered manner as a cost effective measure.
Despite having a majority in Parliament, the Ceruleans lack the 60% support they need to pass the constitutional amendment needed to carry through the policy into law. And already, the opposition parties are beginning to tear down the proposals listed.
The Republican Party's MP Khan Mumal said: "To bring this idea of 'proportional representation' to Sikandara is an outright rejection of the customs of this land and we see this as an attempt to aimlessly mimic foreigners. As a party, we object to this." The Republicans have 5 seats. The Communist Party followed next, releasing an official statement from its party HQ, which said that they would not support the measure due to the unfair advantage it would provide to other parties. The Communists also have 5 seats in Parliament.
General consensus amongst journalists and people in the know is that the Communist and Republican parties both continue to hold their seats through gerrymandering the 10 seats in Osmaniye through bribes to the local municipal authorities, who are responsible for the demarcation of constituencies.
The Orange Democrats, with their 132 seats, provide the real test for the Cerulean Coalition as they can derail the Suleymani Government's attempts for political reform. Though for now, the Orange Democrats have remained quiet on the issue, stating that an official stance would be taken following a meeting of the party's senior leadership. An additional mystery is how the 15 independents in Parliament will cast their vote.
Chancellor Suleymani, as he left the Parliament building, spoke to reporters and seemed confident that the Cerueleans would be able to convince enough MPs to pass the proposals.
