Bill: Decentralization of Government and Privatization Reform Act I
Details
Submitted by[?]: Transhumanist 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: July 2441
Description[?]:
| Big Governments tend to bloat further and waste money with high taxes. Governments should be small and only provide essential services adequately. Since many services can be better provided through privatization, this reform intends to bring about the decentralization of the government and the privatization of the services previously offered. This is the only way to defeat stagnant and underpar policies. Small government, less tax and essential services is the way to go. This article focuses on health issues. |

| Message | This is far too many unrelated proposals in one. We can agree on articles 3 & 4, but the rest are unacceptable. |
| Date | 02:52:02, August 08, 2007 CET | From | New Telamon Party | To | Debating the Decentralization of Government and Privatization Reform Act I |
| Message | If there is no provision for assistance with health care, transportation, and education on the basis of financial need, the New Telamon Party can not support this proposal. There is merit in the idea that advertising must conform to basic minimum standards, and that people can choose to bank with inistitutions other than the government, however. |
| Date | 03:07:33, August 08, 2007 CET | From | Secular Humanist party | To | Debating the Decentralization of Government and Privatization Reform Act I |
| Message | The Free Humanity party supports the New Telamon Party's stance on this. Basic provisions must be made for our citizens, lest this become a land of heartless cruelty where everyone is left to fend for themselves. |
