The Proposed Agreement. 18 The Proposed Agreement would reduce the existing negative interchange fees to zero by: (a) amending existing bilateral agreements between the parties (cls 2.1 and 2.2(a)); (b) having parties use their reasonable endeavours to amend contracts with non-parties (cl 2.2(b)); (c) allowing non-parties to accede to the proposed agreement by Xxxx Xxxx and thereby have the right to obtain zero interchange from other parties (cl 4). 19 The parties may amend the Proposed Agreement if at least 75 per cent of the parties in number agree, and any amendment which is not unanimous will not come into force for at least 120 days (cl 3.3). 20 Apart from the interchange fees, the existing bilateral agreements will continue unaffected. Unless terminated earlier, the Proposed Agreement is to continue for the term of any authorisation granted in respect of it (cl 1.4). The authorisation in fact granted was until 31 December 2006. 21 The parties agree that they will monitor the EFTPOS interchange fees and the impact of the changes “on an ongoing basis and meet at least annually” (cl 3.1) and will conduct a review of the EFTPOS interchange fees every three years or at any time there is a material change in circumstances and at least 25 per cent of the parties in number request such a review (cl 3.2).
The Proposed Agreement. Xxxx et al (2013, 1) argue that the current electoral system in the United States is wholly undemocratic: “every vote should be equal. The presidential candidate who receives the most popular vote throughout the United States should win the Presidency. Every voter in every state should be politically relevant in every election.”1 In their view, the Electoral College violates the principles of majoritarian politics which should govern the process of presidential selection. Aware of the cumbersome process of amending the Constitution, the authors argue that there is a way to conduct elections at the state level while still nationalizing their collective results. The text of the NPVC begins by identifying the prospective members: all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Article II of the NPVC mandates that “each member state shall conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President of the United States” and article V defines “statewide popular election” as a general election with “votes cast for presidential slates by individual voters” which are tallied “on a statewide basis” (Xxxx et al. 2013, 260). In other words, states conduct their own elections in which citizens cast their votes for the nominees for the major parties in the United States. The statewide totals are then aggregated and the chief election official in each state designates the winner of the nationwide total as the winner of the “national popular vote” (Xxxx et al. 2013, 264). Article III then guarantees that the winner of the national popular vote receives the Electoral votes of the member states: The presidential elector certifying official of each member state shall certify the ap- pointment in that official’s own state of the elector slate nominated in that state in association with the national popular vote winner (Xxxx et al. 2013, 264). 1It is worth pointing out that these are normative statements. I print them in their entirety here not because I agree with them but because there is an academic interest in understanding the authors’ motivation for seeking Electoral College reform. As one critic of the NPVC put it, “The proposition that the President should be elected through an exclusively majoritarian process...is a normative claim, and, like all such claims, it must be defended, not just stated” (Xxxxxxxx 2011, 24). The above clause requires that member states allocate their Electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. In 2020, this would have ...
