Bill: KPF Renewal Bill 1C: Science
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kirlawan Popular Front
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 2741
Description[?]:
| It is proper to restrict to a degree what can be done in the pursuit of progress. Before embarking on experiments that involve using animals or cloning technology, safeguards should be in place. We recognise that whaling can have a place in scientific research, but not as a means of fishing - all species of whale are 'vulnerable', and some are 'endangered'. |

| Message | This will hurt our coastal communities and stifle progress. And you call yourself a 'progressive' when you pass these anti-progress laws? |
| Date | 02:32:54, April 15, 2009 CET | From | Kirlawan Popular Front | To | Debating the KPF Renewal Bill 1C: Science |
| Message | When did we call ourselves 'progressive'? We are a populist socialist movement. People are a bit uncomfortable with unregulated scientific research into cloning, easy use of fluffy bunnies in experiments, and the hunting down of whales for profit. That the KNP needs to buy the votes of the coastal communities is another matter. |

| Message | Opposed. However, we are willing to support art 1. |

| 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. |
