Bill: Constitution amendment Act 2481
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freedom Party
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: October 2481
Description[?]:
| This act will give more power to the head of state. However we need a lone figure to decide a cabinet too often there is deadlock when it comes to cabinet decisions. Having the head of state decide should bring consensus and comprimise in hope of electing a cabinet. Also this bill will restrict immigration as we need to reduce the amount of people entering this country. We are full but will accept people that understand our heritage and history and have respect for our nation. |

| Message | In a strange twist of fate, we agree with the MPS. We believe, however, that Article 4 is too important to agree to this bill - a cynical manipulation of the democratic system if we ever saw one... |
