Bill: Fishing for Freedom
Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Party of Solentia
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: June 2504
Description[?]:
| It has come to our attention that fishermen are in effect government workers, fishing set amounts for sale on the market. We feel that this is a communist method. If the law were to be changed, the market would not fail and furthermore, the price due to the competitive nature of capitalism will lower, benefiting the consumer. There are a number of other benefits, such as freedom of choice. Due to the governments highly restrictive laws on fishing, some fish are not caught due to their status as put forward by the government. These fish are simply tossed back into the water, dead! By not throwing them back, the profit margin increases, and the consumer has more choice of what to have on their plate. Surely it makes sense to make amends to the law? |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
