Bill: Stricter Tariffs Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kirlawan National Party (Leftists)
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: November 2607
Description[?]:
| The industry and workers of Kirlawa must always be placed first. Whilst goods from abroad may be cheaper, to sacrifice our countrymen for our own greed, and to keep more money, is despicable. Every Kirlawan has a right to a job, and it is the government's job to protect our people and their possesions. This includes their jobs. We are Kirlawans, we ought to buy goods made by our countrymen, and not by some smutty foreigners who have no rights. So, let us protect the jobs of our countrymen, and place them above low prices and wellbeing of foreigners and foreign nations! We will not allow another job to be lost abroad, another man to go homeless, for our greed! Let us place our workers first! |

| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
