> I wonder if this restricts us (CoD members) in our quest for rules that may allow us to deal with vacant seats, which was the kind of by-elections that I was talking about.
Yes, which is why I've gone forward with my "nomination and referendum plan" in the Chamber.
> I wonder if it really make sense to conduct "by-elections" if a chamber of parliament is dissolved by the President; full-scale general elections might be a better solution, but that would mean that we give up on the fixed annual elections calendar.
Well, that's exactly the thing. When the Constitution was being drafted M-P wanted the fixed elections calendar to be non-negotiable, but to leave provision for "by-elections" in between times. Certainly we can discuss this matter in the committee.
