Bill: Restoration of Malivian Values
Details
Submitted by[?]: Protectorate Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2395
Description[?]:
| While we welcome new ideas and agendas to the political arena we feel that the new members have been far to eager too erase Malivian history. The changing of our titles and names turns our back on centuries of history unique to our culture. Although we understand the desire of the new government to make a fresh start from the previous administration, we feel strong ties to history is what our citizens need in these turbulent times. |

| Message | ooc: Erase... where do you think I got the inspirations for my party? I've firmly based my party largely upon the wiki as well as the pertinent bills. Every nation undergoes social upheavals and most religions endure reformations. |

| Message | ooc: Sweet. ic: No. The former power structure of the decadent Raja and his precious Jawatankuasa are over. No longer shall our nation be under the persuasion of the outdated and ill-informed Swarmi Council. The Messiah has claimed his throne, and Malivia stands to benefit. |

| Message | Change can come without surrendering our past. Our culture gave us our political titles and names not the Swami Council. |
