Bill: Limitation of Proposals Act

| How about limiting the number of proposals each party can put forward each year?

| Date | 20:38:20, August 28, 2005 CET | From | Junker Party | To | Debating the Limitation of Proposals Act |
| Message | We see this as an attempt to supress the minority, who's only way to flourish to be politically active. There are some parties who truly put out a great deal of worthwhile proposals, and to just disallow this is tyranical, and evidence of an attempt to hold a position of power. We vote no, although unfortunately, our current position within the parliament disallows us from making an impression. |
