Bill: PS - Law and Order Manifesto
Details
Submitted by[?]: Páirtí Sóisialach
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: May 2586
Description[?]:
| The Socialist Party would like to declare its postition on several law and order subjects with the purpose of establishing and encouraging further debate on matters proving controversial. It is not the standard operating proceedure to introduce well-meaning omnibus bills. This is a bill put forward for the purpose of advancing the manifesto of a particular party and does not presume to pass. We believe, however, that these matters will advance the cause of justice and national prestige for the government and people of Telamon. In matters of decency, we must not back away from our commitments. Therefore, the Socialist Party seeks support on this bill. |
