Bill: Political Appointments
Details
Submitted by[?]: Maroon Party
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 2106
Description[?]:
| Big government and apathy are the deadliest combination known to man. We feel that, if the public sector is going to expand, it should at least have employees who are motivated about politics and thus more likely to vote and scrutinize government policies. Furthermore, as it is right now government agencies have no incentive to perform efficiently. Whereas under the new system, government agencies would have an incentive--people could vote for the other party if they didn't believe current employees were working up to par. This will provide at least some of the accountability that is lost when we switch away from the profit incentive of the private sector. Thus, we propose that the jobs of political employees be assigned in a political manner. |
