Bill: Defence Reform Act 2610

Details

Submitted by^[?]: Federation Aldegarian 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: December 2611

Description^[?]:

During our inspection of the national budget, we noticed a major misspending of funds into Defence, while in the more important Health and Social Services, the available amount is relatively meager (35% compared to 12%). We wish to initiate a redistribution plan on these expenses, starting from cutbacks in Defence. We believe correct diplomacy can resolve international tensions instead of investing millions of ACR on precautionary security measures.

Proposals

Proposal^[?] to change The nation's defence industry.

Old value:: The state owns national defence industries but these exist alongside privately owned defence industries.

Current: The state owns national defence industries but these exist alongside privately owned defence industries.

Proposed: Defence industries are banned.

To	Debating the Defence Reform Act 2610

From	Conservative Liberalism Party

Date	03:40:53, July 25, 2008 CET
From	Party of the Terravore
To	Debating the Defence Reform Act 2610
Message	Such an extremist stance of pacifism would lead surely to a fall in citizens' respect to the government's effort in the short run, and more importantly will expose our nation to imperialist and expansionist threats from the interterra theatre. We should not let our healthy body be threatened by these internal and external risks. I suggest and agree with a moderation on the proposal, which is from 'banned' to 'regulated'.

Date	04:42:56, July 25, 2008 CET
From	Federation Aldegarian Party

From	Green Party of Aldegar
To	Debating the Defence Reform Act 2610
Message	Terra needs to be cleared of any form of militarism, and we do not why Aldegar should not pioneer it.

Date	03:12:33, July 26, 2008 CET
From	Socialist Party of Aldegar
To	Debating the Defence Reform Act 2610
Message	Though the scourge of war is not a good one. However, we believe that the dismantling of the defense industry will leave the government at a disadvantage in the world stage and could leave our nation at the feet of others.

Date	07:40:31, July 26, 2008 CET
From	Green Party of Aldegar
To	Debating the Defence Reform Act 2610
Message	And from the feet of others we can pull them down to our level of pacifism.

To	Debating the Defence Reform Act 2610
Message	IF ONLY we have the option of REGULATION instead of BANNED and SUBSIDISED.
