Bill: Power To The People Act of 2611
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party of Aldegar
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2611
Description[?]:
| This bill is a resolution to the Democratic Unity Party that propose we withdraw from the Monarchist Treaty that binds us to a monarchy and form a republic with a Prime Minister and President position. The current way of political life does not work for our nation and we propose that the people get the right to choose their own President. We support this measure and for those who vote yes is a message to the DUP that we support the reinstatement of the republic. A nation by the people most solely for the people. |

| Message | A constitutional monarchy is fine. What Aldegar need is more separation of power between the Head of State and the Head of Government and more devolution of power to local governments. |
| Date | 10:22:58, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Unity Party | To | Debating the Power To The People Act of 2611 |
| Message | The installation of the republic isn't a one day job. We are partners in democratizing, but not partners in changing the form of state. Also, we don't wish to change Aldegar to an inheritive republic. |
| Date | 10:57:01, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Party of the Terravore | To | Debating the Power To The People Act of 2611 |
| Message | A badly-named, working government is much better than a well-named, malfunctional one. The society and economy as a whole will suffer from political unrest just because we wish to boast our democracy, which has been there de facto anyway. This proposal is indeed a perfect example of political naivety belongs to the PAP. |

| Message | Treason. Long live the Padishah! |
| Date | 23:41:01, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Power To The People Act of 2611 |
| Message | How can the parties commit to democracy when there is an open break in the nation due to the lack of an elected President? I am not suprised the DUP would vote no and rather keep the status qu as well as the old guard. But the Progressives? You stand and say that there needs to be more separation. But the fact is that there is a separation between someone who was chosen not by the people but due to their random birth. |
| Date | 04:23:48, July 26, 2008 CET | From | Pantheism Capitalistic Party UCF | To | Debating the Power To The People Act of 2611 |
| Message | Everyone please read our current country's head of state policy and notice how much power the ruler actually has. |
| Date | 07:32:04, July 26, 2008 CET | From | Green Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Power To The People Act of 2611 |
| Message | Yes, the Padishah has way too much power, but making Aldegar a republic is not the answer. What we need is a symbolic and hereditary Head of State to whom Aldegarians can refer to, and a separate government led by a Prime Minister and a cabinet. And being progressive is not the same as being for all kinds of changes. Being progressive means that we will support and propose changes to make progress. And making Aldegar a republic is not going to bring progress to Aldegarians. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
