Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| The current communist-minded parties are creating a nation of dependant individuals. The National Conservative Party believes that for a nation to suceed both on a social and economic level, we must create an independent nation free from Government control. Therefore the current laws that allow individuals to receive a minimum wage from the Government does not teach individuals to get up and be part of this great nation. However, the NCP believes that some individuals will from time to time be subject to hardship, therefore the NCP supports a basic subsistence income by the government over a period of time. |
