Bill: National policy regarding the desecration of the national flag
Details
Submitted by[?]: bran1322 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: March 2469
Description[?]:
| People that desecrate the national flag are already seen as people that should not be listened to. The condemning comes from the public at large and generally destroying a flag only serves to reduce any on the fence support that group may have. With that said, a healthy open free democracy has to allow for dissent because it creates a more tolerant society. That belief is at the core of a democracy, more so than the symbolic nature of a flag. What makes a nation great are the ideas which provide the foundation for a society, not the symbols that a country chooses. Hence why the policy choices being debated in this forum are more frequent about health and education rather than the national animal. |

| Message | This bill is unpatriotic to the national pride, as the author I can see and will admit that. But to me anyway it is more important to fight for the ideals of a minority inclusive democratically elected and stable country like ours. |
