Bill: Return of the Telamon Monarchy!
Details
Submitted by[?]: Telamon National Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2635
Description[?]:
| We believe that the Monarchy of Telamon should be restored to their former glory after they were removed by the republican traitors. A Monarchy is good for international relations as they remain non-political and can build up a long term working relationship which will benefit the Nation of Telamon. Monarchies are also good for the tourism of a nation bringing in many tourists to see and meet the Royal House of the nation. Nation name to change: United Kingdom of Telamon. |

| Message | Our party is divided on this issue, as some members agree with the non-partisan nature of the monarchy and promotion of tourism; however, Republicanism ensures that a government is truely control by the people, say others. OOC: I wish there was an option to have Parliament elect the Head of State... |

| Message | Telamon has no problems which installing "Richard IV" will put right. Politicians who call for hereditary heads of state should, on an experimental basis, start using hereditary doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc., etc..

| Message | Currently the elected Head of State is powerless and a waste of tax payers money, it is also a major cause of political instability. We feel that the a Monarchy would be much more beneficial to the nation and will allow the largest parties in parliament to carry out the mandates they are given by the electorate to a better standard. Margaret Jones, TNP Leader. |
