Date | 15:13:12, April 12, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Positive Discrimination Act, 2739 |
Message | We may be able to support this, though we favour the current legislation. Positive descrimination is simply the favouritism of minorities ahead of those who may be better qualified, but are part of a majority group. Those who show superior skill and qualification should be rewarded, regardless of other meaningless factors. Hiring policies should be based on merit alone - positive descrimination should not be tolerated under any circumstances. |

Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
