Giving everyone a veto pushes the government too far into indecisiveness.
You need to let the 49% stop bills they Really hate, but not bills they only mildly dislike.
New system.
Each faction has an official party. Voters choose a party.
Parties each have 2 numbers, v and p the number of votes and points. These start proportional.
(How about half the points from the previous election carry over??)
Each slot for new legislation is auctioned off (in points). Like every time the previous bill is dealt with, hold an auction to decide the next bill on the table.
Then when voting on the bill, each party decides on a number I. This number can be any real (if they have the points) If the sum of all parties I for the bill is positive, the bill passes.
Then each party gets a J, which is J=I for the losers (ie parties that supported a failed bill, or opposed a successful one. ) But is a downscaled version of I for the winners. ∑J=0.
Weighted quadratic voting. Each party pays J2/v points. The total number of points a party has can’t go negative, which limits the I they are allowed to vote.
