Bill: IP Progress Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperialist Party
Status[?]: defeated
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 2406
Description[?]:
In addition to vital public works, we sometimes privatize certain goods. It may be of incrcedible value for the community that, for instance, a factory be built. Should we really let a single individual stand in the way of that? I am all for compensating those whose property must be taken, but public as well as private enterprises may have large social value. |

Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
