Bill: Radical Act for Reform of the Economy (RARE)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Green, Liberal and Left
Status[?]: passed
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: January 2605
Description[?]:
| After the abject favour of the BEST Act, the PPP proposes a new list of measures designed to make our economy more competitive, faster growing, more flexible and less subjected to the vested interests of the trade union movement. Considering the bills we have put forth no one can call the PPP a party of the rich, we only wish to see a Valruzia that is as economically powerful as is possible, not for rich Valruzians, not for the poor, but for a Valruzia for all of us. It is in no one's interests to have a Valruzia that is economically uncompetitive, where inflation and unemployment are rife. For a stronger, more flexible, more prosperous Valruzian Federation. |
