Bill: Decentralization of Government and Privatization Reform Act III
Details
Submitted by[?]: Transhumanist Party
Status[?]: passed
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 2442
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 infrastructure. |

| Message | The Free Humanity party wholly supports article 1. Article 2, though, s not acceptable. We believe mail is an essential service like water and energy, and while privatisation can help, having it unregulated is unacceptable. A service which handles private mail, checks in he post, expensive components, electronic devices, etc. Without regulation, there would be nothing to stop these services from stealing things and simply claiming they were never sent. |
