Bill: Political Coup 2698
Details
Submitted by[?]: Peoples Choise Union
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill presents the formation of a cabinet. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. Traditionally, parties in the proposal vote yes, others (the opposition) vote no. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in and all parties in the proposal have voted yes, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 2699
Description[?]:
| PCU recently formed a government with DPJ and DD. We thought that some change in the government would bring some additional excitement to the game. However PCU notices that it is only in the government because otherwise DPJ and DD would not have a majority. What is more DPJ calls PCU "fascists". PCU believes that this is not a good basis to be in the same government. Therefore we would leave the DPJ-DD-PCU government and propose a government with the Suprise Party instead. SP has always been respectful even though they did not always agree with PCU positions. |

| Message | Fascists! ^_^ You're stuck in the middle, always a tough spot to be in, between the radical left and radical right. (And I certainly don't deny I play a radical party too.) Lemme think about it. It's not about the quality of the offer, it's just I need to decide whether I'm better off tactically being "minority" for upcoming elections. Maybe we'd both be better off doing a Canada maneouver, and letting DPJ and DD run the government with a minority coalition, so long as one of us is HoS in case of war. |

| Message | i very surprised people who play this game find fascist as an insult. i was under the impression that people who played this game were politically savvy. For Gods sake, fascist is viable (though disagreeable), political ideology created in the early 1900s to describe a government where peoples social and political rights shrink and the government enforces a 'third way' between communism and capitalism, it is not profanity!!! grow up! |
