Bill: Let Each Party Establish A Presidential Platform in the 2455 Elections Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalist Working Families
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2454
Description[?]:
As you may know, our party sent out a letter to each Party Leader in the Legislature advocating that for the elections of 2455 that maybe we can experiment with proposing a "Presidential Platform," if you will, which would consists of ALL of the proposals and Treaty's that we would like to see enacted as the Law of this great Commonwealth. However, if you decided that that was a good idea, we must double the bill quota from 25 to 50 in which we can always RE-change the quota after the 2455 elections. This is a NON-Partisan bill. Thank you for your full support. |

Message | We actually find that Rutania is mostly satisfactory as it is, and we have already proposed all of the bills that we wanted to see passed. It's difficult to play the part of the stodgy old conservative party, but that is the role in which we currently find ourselves. But, if the other parties want to propose a flurry of legislation to establish their platforms, let them have a blast. |

Message | I have too many proposals as it is. But whatever. |

Message | Yes, I understand where you are coming from b/c I too have proposed ALL of the bills that I wanted to see passed. However, my point was that if you propose a bill with 50 detailed proposals as a "platform," if you will, 2-3 months before the Election, that will have a SUBSTANTIAL impact on the voter turnout of the election in Rutania due to a more accurate description of each party's issue stances. Voter turnout will be affected from the way the computer simulated voters are configurated in the Particracy system. Nevertheless, since you said that "if the other parties want to propose a flurry of legislation to establish their platforms, let them have a blast," would you be kind enough to "Vote YES" out of simple support b/c in order to change the quota limit, at least 51% of the legislature must vote in favor. Thanks again for your full support. |

Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
