Bill: Cult of the individual
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples 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: August 2421
Description[?]:
| We should establish a consensus on morals of society. With the rising individualism in our collective and rather socialist society we should make sure that noone falls back to egoistic interests. This should prevent the constraints of capitalism that so many hobrazians has suffered under and which still exists in the subconcious of many people. We need to get rid of this egoism and restore pure individualism in our socialist society. |

| Message | We cannot support any of these articles. Moreover, we had a consensus on morals until you removed the State religion. |

| Message | Ah, as you know the HPP is a rather secularized party. We accept religion and the ethics that follow with it, though we also are aware of that religion is the biggest factor for starting a war which then will remove all morals from said religion. Also we do believe that religion as well as capitalism constraints the people to ideas that is unreachable. Religion is used to keep people in place and make them act in certain ways, just like capitalism....(not that we don't like the idea of people being kept in place ;-)) Though we do not say that we can not accept state religions in the future. It is just for now, as we have had a long time with centre-right government and capitalistic ideology, that the HPP actually tries and save the state religion/s. We try and lead them to their old ideas of ethichs and morals without a political message which then will allow for true religions to be practised in Hobrazia. Furthermore we here say, that in a possible "state religion bill" we will at all times favor Hobaism and Hobrazian Ortodox Church, as these are cultural and historical the religions of Hobrazia. |
