Bill: One of those omnibus bills with no theme
Details
Submitted by[?]: Populist Liberal Party
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: November 2127
Description[?]:
| Yes, I'm proposing one of these. It likely won't pass because it has unrelated proposals, but the idea is more to make people take a stand. We don't even fully agree with everything in this proposal, but we feel on the whole it would be good for Kanjor, and there's nothing in here we think is awful. I don't really like this tactic, but if others are going to use it.... |

| Message | yeah, I guess I use this tactic way too much, but your proposals are both for and against what I believe in. Oh well, now I'll have to make more of these contrary bills to even out the effect. |

| Message | I'd rather everyone stop using the tactic, in which case I will as well. Bills with multiple proposals are fine, when the proposals are closely related. When they aren't, well...you get this. |

| Message | I agree. I support 4 proposals and do not support the other 4, obviously. |
