Having no regional legislature could hardly increase devolution. It would be the biggest increase in centralisation because the functions of local government would be given to the nationa government. And the same for you proposal about governors.

In Mordusia, the law stipulates that the provincial outcome in general elections provides the result for the seats in the regional councils (so if party X gets 18 seats in province Y, it wil get 18 seats in Y's council as well). The Governorship is held by the party having the most of seats, regardless if the party has a majority or not.

What option do you suggest? I am struggling to find the political terms to put that in.

In my opinion this is covered by your suggestion, because this would be a new question and therefore a new law.

I think it is good like it is, but why bring an appointment of the head of state more decentralization then by a head of government?

I think #3 should be increase in devolution.

I do not see how being appointed by the HoG is any less centralised than being appointed by the HoS.

Looks fine to me. I suggest that this should be considered a constitutional issue and that a change of setting should have a 2/3 majority to pass.

[Leonardo222]

I don't think that should be a constiutional issue or the default options must be changed.
