Message | Can you please justify this proposal? Is it to extend the life of certain welfare programs? |
Date | 03:42:20, September 28, 2005 CET | From | Jakanian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase |
Message | Mainly, yes. 62 is also much too young of an age to use for retirement. Jakanians should not eb eligible for retirement at 62. |
Date | 04:00:44, September 28, 2005 CET | From | Islamic Nationalist Front | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase |
Message | The Jakanian Capitalist Party's stance on this issue is on the verge of apathy because the Party obviously does not recognize the need for any welfare to be provided by the government. The age of retirement should be determined by the individual, not the state. Furthermore, raising the retirement is often only a temporary solution if there an actual (fiscal) need to do so. Thus, the Party will abstain from voting on this bill, unless the FR are willing to back the Equal Military Service Opportunity Act after the early elections. |
Date | 05:58:38, September 28, 2005 CET | From | Nudist Party of United Jakania | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase |
Message | I think an abolition of the mandatory retirement age should be the way to go. I by no means wish to retire until I am ready to do so...and if that comes at 62 or 85, what difference does it make? |
Date | 07:11:20, September 28, 2005 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase |
Message | Ths Socialist party would also support the abolition of retirement ages. However, it also recognises that raising the age does give people more power to choose the age at which they retire, and would support the bill in its current form. |

Message | (Way to remove my political leverage there. Thanks a lot guys :P) |
Date | 06:49:03, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Union of Leftist Thinkers | To | Debating the Retirement Age Increase |
Message | To clarify, is this bill raising the mandatory retirement age, or the age at which one can receive retirement benefits? |
