| I wish to pass the motion that smoking is banned in all public places. If this bill is passed then smoking will not be allowed in any public place within our nation.

From | Labour Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Banning Smoking in All Public Places | | Message | I feel for far too long, the health of our nation has been disrupted by smoking. Whilst the Labour Party has no problems with the people of our nation smoking if they really wish too, we see no need for them to do so in public places where people who don't wish to smoke should be infected with cigarette smoke which is horrifically bad for their health and well being. Our message and our bill- Smoke if you wish but on private property and outdoor areas only. All public places should see a smoking ban. |

From | Labour Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Banning Smoking in All Public Places | | Message | The main feature would be fines (large fines) if someone was smoking in a public place and possibly would also be added onto the persons criminal record. The government may also add some more features to the bill to ensure it was enforced and followed correctly and properly. Schemes of this nature in other countries seems to have worked well.
I really do feel though that the Health Secretary must contribute to this debate so we can get a government view on this debate. |

From | Federal Independent Party | To | Debating the Banning Smoking in All Public Places | | Message | ((OOC: Where did all these newbies come from? They just popped out of nowhere! I hate it when they do that...it's like suffering from withdrawal (not that I'm saying I've experienced it), you need to take things slowly and easy and when they come rushing in and proposing a barrage of bills it's too much to take.
Never-the-less, welcome aboard new parties. Be bi-partisan, politically correct, sway yourselves away from using fowl language, and don't become friends with Matt Unger. Oh yes, try and RP a lot more in-depth. Most parties that are cool like the CPS, LPS, and the IP have their politicians speak IC for them so it seperates anything that may be stated OOC. Attempt this if you're a more dedicated player or don't try if this is a test-drive sort of relationship with the game.)) |

From | Federal Independent Party | To | Debating the Banning Smoking in All Public Places | | Message | ((OOC: Oh yeah, since this bill doesn't have any bill proposals, if passed it won't really do anything. If it's a legislative resolution that will be binding law once passed it needs to be set up more properly.)) |
