Bill: Foreign policy reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Democrats
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2367
Description[?]:
| The Social Democrats feel that our nation is far too protectionist in the foreign policy field. As we are convicted internationalists we wish that there will be a change in the policy that will show our country as open to trade and foreign investment on one hand, while also being an important player in the international field, giving support to nations in need. The bill covers several fields in the foreign policy and we submit it as our proposal as to how our state should be run. |

| Message | The TCP believes this bill is absolutely abhorrent for several reasons: 1. Allowing anyone into the nation will mean that our nation loses its own culture and becomes a puree of hundreds of others, therefore confusing and corrupting our national identity. It will also create the incredibly problematic situation in which INEVITABLY segregated racial groups form gangs or enclaves, and violence INEVITABLY ensues. Furthermore, various foreigners willing to work for far lower wages than our own nation's workers will take jobs that could otherwise have been occupied by our own nation's people. 2. By the same tokin as the reason above, the TCP will never support slack border security. The TCP firmly believes in tight border security and will not accept any less. 3. The TCP believes that all imports should have tarriffs, regardless of any other reason. This will ensure the continuing success of our own nation's business and economy. |
