Bill: Repealing the Mandatory Vote Explanation Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Chattes en Chaleur
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2458
Description[?]:
| CeC currently feels that although an explanation is nice, it shoudlnt be required and have penalties for failing to do so. We believe that if an explanation is wanted and one wasnt given, then it can be asked for. If directly asked for an explanation we are sure most parties would oblige. Voting yes for this bill would abolish the Mandatory Vote Explanation Act. |

| Message | I agree. Many votes are just based on party policy that is clearly explained on that given party's page. Explanation in every bill is redundant. |

| Message | While I'm abstaining from this bill because I enjoy typing up an IC explanation for most bills, I understand that not everybody does. It is nice to have discussion, however. |

| Message | Fine, it's apparent you all want to go against the ideas of clean and transparent government, we'll make sure to braodcast the results of this bill on every inter/national media outlet. |

| Message | Party positions should explain their votes well enough. |

| Message | Also, were the mandatory explanation thing to pass, anyone could just claim that all bills are friviolous etc. |
| Date | 00:45:36, September 21, 2007 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Repealing the Mandatory Vote Explanation Act |
| Message | That's why there was an amendment bill explaining what frivolous bills were and were'nt. |
| Date | 07:07:03, September 21, 2007 CET | From | Pan-Sekowan Fascist Front | To | Debating the Repealing the Mandatory Vote Explanation Act |
| Message | Describing bill is a bonus but by no means should it be necessary and punishable for the lack of it. It is fascism, I tell you! Fascism! |
| Date | 08:13:51, September 21, 2007 CET | From | Plato's Republican Party | To | Debating the Repealing the Mandatory Vote Explanation Act |
| Message | I still really hope that other parties type up a little blurb IC about why they did what they did. It doesn't matter if it's an obvious choice for one's party. Hell, 90% of bills are an "obvious" choice given party guidelines, but it doesn't make it any less interesting. In particular, I'm interested in the debate. Too often I'm finding that people will blindly "tow the party line," when real debate might actually result in a change of position. That's what I'm hoping for, that our IC debate results in IC changes in opinion. Of course, that's probably just a pipe dream, but we'll see. We'll see. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
