Details
Submitted by[?]: God's and the King's Fighters
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: June 2445
Description[?]:
| Ad 1: Big fireworks are not only dangerous for the 'user' himself, but also for the general public. Therefore, we shouldn't allos them for everyone. Ad 2: There is no reason, why we shouldn't extradite citizens, if they committed a punishable offense in foreign countries, as long as those countries treat them reasonably well. Ad 3: If those not poor can still give any amount of money they like to their legal defendant, they will always get the better lawyers on their side. Therefore, we have to change this unfair practice. Ad 4: We do already look after our minorities, but we must eliminate discrimination at its very roots, and not allow them to be discriminated by words also. |
