Bill: Common Sense Environmental Protection Policy Act #10
Details
Submitted by[?]: Likaton Coalition of the Willing
Status[?]: defeated
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: February 2490
Description[?]:
| If fishes don't GET to swim, then there WONT be any BABY fishes and that will MAKE kittens ?sad. WE propose that all fishing is nationalised; thus we can manage quota and catch rates, as well as re-seeding our oceans. This will also provide valuable employment, supervising the convicted criminals who will run these ocean going vessels as punishment. Also, we think that farms should be managed on a case by case basis, by local government, and Article one is our first step towards that. This bill shows that we are taking a lead in ecology, employment, and kitten love, and if you don't support it you are mean. |

| Message | All three articles would be good halfway measures. Unfortunately, as it stands, halfway is half too far from the right way. |
