Bill: It's not our choice
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty 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 2456
Description[?]:
| This is really just common sense. If an employer would like to hire minority groups over majority workers, good on him. We see nothing wrong with this practise, we can't dictate who he hires, and the Liberty Party feels the Zardugal Government is treading down a dangerous, undesirable path when we start banning employers from hiring ethic and gender minorities. We also feel very strongly about enforcing Positive Discrimination, as that is racism directed at the everyday Zardugalian, not immigrant minorities. The only fair medium we can enforce is to not enforce it at all. Private business is just that. Private. |
Proposals

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
