Bill: Nationalist Agenda for Change: Foreign Policy!
Details
Submitted by[?]: Telamon National 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: October 2590
Description[?]:
| We believe that it is time that Telamon is put first and not that of the rest of the world, we believe the tax from our people should be spent on improving our peoples lives and developing Telamon. If people want to give aid then they can do that through private charities and aid organisations. We also believe that we need to protect Telamon industry and business from overseas tycoons who only seek to buy Telamon business for a quick profit and not for long term benefit of the economy and its work force. |
