Message | Excellent proposals from the PM, once again! We must free the market, and now that our center-right coalition holds majority, we have a chance to pass bills like this one for the greater good of our nation. We must encourage competition in all aspects of the economy and free institutions and businesses from the shackles of government regulation so that they can perform to the full extent of their potential. This will also reduce the burden on tax payers dramatically, of course - another plus. The TCP wholeheartedly supports! |

Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
