Details

Voting deadline: December 2502
Description[?]:
"In a state the individuals living in the state cede certain rights and powers to the collective structure, and in return the collective structure grants every individual certain benefits. The individual cedes the right to use violence to the state, and in return the state guarantees (or at least tries to) a peaceful life and protection of property and personal rights. The individual cedes the right to settle quarrels and disagreements to the state and in return the state settles them collectively by enforcing a law system. [...] This is one reason for supporting this our bill, another one is the belief in a peaceful shaping of life. A peaceful individual life does not need weapons. [...]" Adam Horvitz, party leader, in parliament |

This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
