Bill: Service Nationalisation Proposal
Details
Submitted by[?]: New-Revolutionary Communist Party (NRCP)
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: July 2523
Description[?]:
Too long the citizens of Darnussia have suffered at the hands of inefficient and profit driven private enterprise businesses, where they should have regularly available and free-at-point-of-use public services shared and enjoyed by the entire population. We therefore move that all necessary services, and public transport services are reclaimed by the government and run for the public benefit. |
