twelve-month term reform: The time for stagnation is over. By maintaining an anachronistic 48-month term in a world where a day passes in an hour, we condemn Matterhorn to inertia and our democracy to asphyxiation. Such a delay amounts to months of real-world waiting, which is the graveyard of civic energy. Shifting to a 12-month cycle is a vital necessity. It is the precise balance required to allow leaders to carry out genuine reforms while guaranteeing a simultaneous, rigorous, and cohabitation-free renewal of all our institutions. Democracy is not a privilege exercised once every millennium, it is a constant battle. Let us not fear the verdict of the ballot box, let us provoke it. Let us adopt this reform so that Matterhorn remains a living, bold nation resolutely turned toward the future.

Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

“Well, it's not what we expected, like 5 or 4 months, but compared to how it is now, with 48 months of waiting and actual months of waiting as well, this one is better and equally acceptable”
