Chapter 24: Emergency Governance

In an emergency, such as a pandemic or natural disaster, qualified experts can quickly draft new initiatives tailored to the situation. Their proposals immediately enter public debate, and once submitted, the public votes on them. If multiple initiatives compete and are mutually exclusive, the constitution’s clause on conflicting initiatives ensures that the more popular proposal prevails.

Because initiatives can be registered rapidly and must include a clearly defined tax budget, the public can begin allocating tax to them straight away. And when the emergency is severe, they naturally will.
